Tips and Tricks

Can I substitute Walnuts for the Pecans?

Yes! They are both similar in taste and texture which make them perfect for this dish!

Can I use Fresh Cranberries

You can. If you opt to use this magical fruit in its raw form, I would add them at the beginning of the cooking process. They are a meaty fruit and will take time to cook.

I am not fond of Cranberries, can I use another fruit?

Raisins would be the nearest thing to them. If you weren’t fond of them either, apples would be a good pairing or leave them out and drizzle the Brussels with a touch of apple cider vinegar or balsamic.
