Brussels Sprouts with Cheese and Nuts

These were delicious and are acceptable on the South Beach Diet. This would make an excellent side dish for a holiday or just your average Tuesday. Very simple.




1 lb Brussels Sprouts

1/4 cup Gorgonzola

1/4 cup chopped nuts (I used macadamia nuts, but you could use walnuts, pecans, even peanuts or pine nuts)

tbsp olive oil





Shred/chop the Brussels sprouts. Heat olive oil over medium heat.



Saute the Brussels sprouts until tender and slightly browned. Toss in Gorgonzola and nuts. Serve hot.



You could also get creative and try feta or goat cheese. Yum!
