Ingredients
  

For the Chutney
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil for sautéing
  • 2 tablespoons shallots chopped
  • 1 small pear (D'Anjou recommended) diced without peeling
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary optional
For the Brussels Sprouts
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the chopped shallots and sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently until they become translucent.
  2. Next, add the diced pear, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt to the skillet. Stir and allow to cook for another 3 minutes until the pear pieces soften slightly.
  3. Pour in 1/4 cup of white balsamic vinegar and let the chutney simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. Add 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary for flavor, then cool the mixture in a bowl.
  4. Wipe the skillet clean and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Arrange the trimmed Brussels sprouts cut-side down and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes.
  5. Once golden, gently toss them and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt as they become crisp-tender.
  6. Toss the cooked Brussels sprouts with the prepared white balsamic-pear chutney in a large bowl until evenly coated. Serve immediately.
