Want to cook up some brilliant Brussels? Boiled sprouts stirred with oil-toasted pine nuts and garlic get a tangy touch of parmesan that balances the whole thing out perfectly.
1 pound Brussels sprouts
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Prepare Brussels sprouts by rinsing and removing stem ends and discolored leaves.
Bring sprouts, water, and salt to boil in 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Lower heat, cover, and simmer (shaking pan once or twice to redistribute sprouts) until knife tip inserted into a Brussels sprout center meets no resistance, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well, quarter, and set aside.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add nuts and cook, stirring frequently, until nuts begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute.
Stir in sprouts and cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir in Parmesan and serve.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I have made this several times, and it is easy and delicious. I have added shallots with the garlic and also some sun-dried tomatoes (the kind in oil) at the end, and these augment the flavors
