I was in Denver for work a couple of weeks ago where I stumbled upon the most amazing restaurant, Mercantile Dining & Provisions. A friend as I had the privilege of sitting at the chef’s counter because that was the only seat available. What a lucky opportunity. With the exception of watching the chefs use more butter than I probably go through in a year, it was absolutely mesmerizing watching them cook and everything we ate was delicious (guessing that the butter had something to do with it.)
I knew I had to recreate the Chopped Brussels Sprout Salad the minute I took a bite. It featured the best fall flavors like pear butter and pumpkin seeds, so it seemed like a great addition to my Thanksgiving Table. I couldn’t find pear butter, and I removed the prosciutto and butter, but the results are still absolutely delicious.

How awesome is this Brussels Sprout Stalk. I seem to have a thing with recreating Brussels Sprout dishes… Have you tried my Apricot & Feta Brussels Sprouts that I recreated from Lincoln in DC or Orange Brussels Sprouts with Mint Yogurt that I recreated from Ardeo + Bardeo.
