Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Hazelnuts and Sage over Pumpkin Ravioli
Serves: 2 large or 4 smaller portions
This is a recipe I have put on the menu of several restaurants in years past and recently was reminded of how much I love it. As you may know, every fall as the weather cools, Ciscoe and I cook up a new version of his favorite vegetable. This variation infuses extra flavor into the sprouts by thinly slicing them and then gently browning them with hazelnuts and sage. Serve that over creamy, sweet pumpkin ravioli and you have a truly lovely dish in no time at all.

In a large sauté pan, combine the butter and olive oil over medium heat and add the garlic, Brussels sprouts, hazelnuts and sage. Cook, stirring frequently, until the Brussels sprouts begin to caramelize and are tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
