This recipe is a beautiful example of combining contrasting flavors. The sweet raisins help tame the bitterness of the Brussels sprouts while the pecans add a pleasing nutty crunch to every tender bite. Finishing with the balsamic vinegar provides a 1-2 punch of sweet and tart that elevates everything to mouthwatering goodness. Serve this with a holiday roast or as a love fall side dish when entertaining. This reheats well. Consider chopping the leftover Brussels sprouts and tossing everything with warm egg noodles for a yummy, easy meal the next day.
