Sautéed Brussels Sprout Leaves with Persimmons, Heirloom Apricots and Walnuts

If it’s local persimmon season (usually November – December) then consider using fresh Fuyu persimmons in place of the dried persimmons. We carry dried persimmons year-round in our markets, as well as these fantastic, unique and locally grown heirloom Blenheim dried apricots from Hollister.

This is a fantastic dish to serve at Thanksgiving, if you’re wanting to add a little local flare to your traditional meal.

  • Add the olive oil to the same pan over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprout leaves, salt, pepper, apricots and persimmons. Sauté, stirring almost constantly, for about 5 minutes then add the walnuts and cook for another minute or until heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
