Brussels Sprouts and Walnut Pizza
Brussels Sprouts is savory and umami where walnut is rich, and a shared earthy streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Charred, halved Brussels sprouts deliver a nutty crunch and savory depth to fall and winter pizzas. Toasted walnuts add a satisfying crunch and earthy, slightly bitter nuttiness. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
