Planning a dinner but having little to no time to prepare but wants to serve something special and savory? I’ve also been in that situation before, I once invited a friend to dinner but forgot to mention that I’m not that great of a cook, I didn’t want to resort to ordering food but I don’t have that much time in my hands either. However, I also want to leave a good impression and want my friend to enjoy the night with a full stomach. So I did what I always do in a desperate situation, run to YouTube for quick and easy tutorials I can follow. After a few minutes of browsing and I found this dish that you can cook with just Brussel sprouts and walnut, what even made it better is that it goes great with wine! We both enjoyed a great dinner that night, so for those who are in a similar situation with me, worry not, for the recipe you’re looking for is now possible in just 3 easy steps! Today’s dish is by the amazing Lidia Bastianich.
