Ingredients:

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3/4 pound fresh Brussels sprouts

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted (could use pecans)

Equipment:

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Thinly slice or shred the Brussels sprouts. If they are on the larger side, remove the core. (I find it easiest to slice in half first and cut an upside down “V” to remove the core.)Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp and remove to a paper towel-lined plate.Return the pan to the heat and, once hot, add the Brussels sprouts, followed by the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Spread out the sprouts and allow them to sear for a minute or so, or until the edges are starting to lightly brown and crisp. (If you are not using bacon, heat the two tablespoons of olive oil, or enough to lightly coat the bottom of the pan, and proceed as directed.)Stir and continue to cook the Brussels sprouts until they are bright green and slightly wilted, or about 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the walnuts and the cranberries and toss to combine.Sprinkle with the reserved bacon, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
