Ingredients

• 300 grams Brussels sprouts
• 200 grams Green cabbage
• 1 large Apple (e.g., Honeycrisp or Gala)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice them in half or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 2

Cut the green cabbage into thin strips (shredded).

Step 3

Core and slice the apple into thin wedges. Leave the peel on for extra texture and color.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Let it melt and combine.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.

Step 7

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the Brussels sprouts. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and become tender.

Step 8

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and mix it with the Brussels sprouts. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until slightly wilted but still crisp.

Step 9

Toss in the apple slices and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the apples start to soften but do not turn mushy.

Step 10

Drizzle the maple syrup over the mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the sautéed apple, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage to a serving dish.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm as a side dish.
