Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups organic Brussels sprouts washed, trimmed and cut in half or quarters
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 yellow onion half moons
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt divided
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup filtered water for unsticking
  • 1/3 cup macadamia nuts raw or roasted, chopped

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the brussels sprouts in a colander under cool water. Cut off the brown bottoms, cut them in half and peel away any old or yellow outer leaves.
  2. Heat a medium sized skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is warm, reduce heat to medium and add the olive oil, swirling the skillet to spread the oil around. Add the onions and a pinch of sea salt and sauté with a wooden spoon for 2 – 3 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.
  3. Add the Brussels sprouts, apple cider vinegar and another pinch of sea salt. Cover with a fitted lid and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 2 - 3 Tablespoons of filtered water, give them a good stir and cover again.
  5. Continue to stir and add water as necessary until the Brussels sprouts are soft and pierceable with a fork. This can take about 15 – 20 minutes, depending on how big the cuts are. Once brussels sprouts are tender, add in the macadamia nuts and stir to combine.
  6. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
