Ingredients:

Brussels Sprouts:

• 15–20 brussels sprouts, halved

• 1 small red onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise

• ½ cup walnuts, chopped

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

• sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted, grass-fed butter

• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
