Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Saute red onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts; saute for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, bring balsamic vinegar and white wine to a simmer in a small pot. Stir in blackberry jam, hot sauce, and rosemary sprig. Simmer, uncovered, until balsamic vinegar reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir peanuts into Brussels sprouts mixture; cook and stir until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cranberries. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and seasoned tenderizer. Discard rosemary sprig from the vinegar mixture; pour over Brussels sprouts.
