We enjoyed these thanks Bergy-the sweet, salty crunch of the cashews worked well in the dish. I might shred and stir fry my sprouts next time so the nuts get more evenely distributed through the finished dish. -
These are amazing! Who'da thought brussels sprouts with cashews!? We like our sprouts "shaved", so I sliced them up really thin before lightly steaming them. I then browned them in the butter and added some chopped garlic with the lemon juice (about 1TBSP). Once the garlice softened, tossed in the cashews & served. DEFINITELY a keeper! Thanks for sharing Bergy! I know I can count on your recipes! -
I steamed these a little longer because I prefer brussel sprouts more tender than crisp. The slight tartness of the lemon-butter glaze with the salty cashews was a good counterpoint to the flavor of the sprouts. Cheers for another quick, healthy side dish. Thanks. -
I took this to Thanksgiving dinner and everyone enjoyed them. They were easy to make but the cashews and glaze made them special. -
Simple, but very nice! I think the cashews are the secret to this recipe, as they give the brussels sprouts a nice nutty flavor. I did season these with some compound herb butter I made- enjoy these a lot! Thanks for posting.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
