Sautéed Brussels Sprouts & Cabbage with Toasted Almonds and Shallots

2 cups of Brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced in half

2 cups of red cabbage, roughly chopped

3 tablespoons of grapeseed (or another high-heat oil)

¼ cup of slivered almonds

¼ cup of diced shallots

2 cloves of garlic, minced

salt + pepper

Heat 2 tablespoons of the grapeseed oil in a cast iron pan oven medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts (I like to start them off cut-side down). Cook the sprouts for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown.

While the sprouts are cooking, heat up the remaining tablespoon of grapeseed oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the shallots. Sautee for 3-4 minutes until clear and then add in the almonds and garlic. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until everything starts to brown, but be very careful not to burn the almonds or garlic. Remove from the heat.

Once the sprouts have started to brown, add the red cabbage and continue to sauté until the cabbage is tender. Turn off the heat and add the toasted almonds and shallots. Give it a good toss and then season with salt + pepper.  Serve warm.

Serves 6-8 as a side dish
