Black Walnut Brussels

A one pan, affordable vegetable side for any occasion.

Black walnuts have a distinctive and complex flavor that can be challenging to replicate: nutty with a savory quality akin to blue cheese. Thankfully, they’ve become commonly available in recent years, so you can make this recipe with a single trip to the grocery store (and a single pan). After creating a nutty breadcrumb mixture, you’ll gently warm the brussels and toss with lots of fresh lemon juice. It’s both hearty and light, savory and bright. Make this a go-to vegetable side, or double the recipe to make an affordable and quick potluck offering.
