Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Trim the Brussels sprouts by removing any yellow or tough outer leaves and slicing off the ends if needed. Wash them thoroughly.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and blanch them for 5-7 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the blanched Brussels sprouts and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly caramelized.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to coat the Brussels sprouts.
Season with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a fresh, tangy finish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side dish to complement meats or hearty Belgian dishes.
