Brussels Sprouts Vinaigrette - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups fresh Brussels sprouts
4 teaspoons sherry wine vinegar
1 tablespoon mustard (deli style, spicy, yellow-your favorite)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup walnut oil
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg
3/4 cup walnuts, toasted and finely chopped (optional)

Preparation

Wash and cut an X into the bottom of all the Brussels sprouts.
Fill a large saucepan 1/4 full of water. Bring to boiling. Steam sprouts in a steamer basket until tender, but still firm, about 5-8 minutes.
For the vinaigrette:
In a small bowl whisk vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, walnut oil, nutmeg and salt and pepper together. Taste and adjust as necessary. Set aside.
Drain the warm Brussels sprouts and place in a serving bowl. Toss with the vinaigrette.
Serve garnished with the toasted chopped walnuts. You don't have to toast the walnuts if you don't want to :).
