Brussels Sprouts with Orange Dressing
Brussels sprouts are best if cooked quickly, so cutting them in quarters or slicing (or even shredding) them is worth the effort.
1⁄2 cup orange juice

1. 1  tsp. orange zest
2. 2  Tbs. canola oil

1 cup thinly sliced shallots or red onions
1 lb. brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced
freshly ground black pepper 1⁄4 tsp. kosher salt

1. In a small pot, simmer the orange juice until reduced to 2 Tbs. Remove from the heat and mix in the orange zest.

2. In a medium sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the shallots until golden brown, 2-3 minutes.
3. Steam the brussels sprouts until they are tender but still bright green, 3-5 minutes.
4. Allow the brussels sprouts to cool slightly, then toss with the orange reduction and shallots. Season with pepper and up to 1⁄4 tsp. of salt.
