Brussels sprouts are members of the cabbage family. They are in season from late August through March.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces Brussels sprouts (about 25), stems trimmed, and thinly sliced
2 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken broth
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and carrots; sauté until the sprouts start to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the raisins and chicken broth; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 12 minutes. If the skillet becomes too dry before the sprouts are tender, add up to 3 tablespoons water, and continue cooking. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
