Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 150 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 30 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, discarding any yellow or damaged outer leaves.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized. Flip them over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Remove the Brussels sprouts from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing well to combine.
Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Return the Brussels sprouts to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the creamy mustard sauce.
Drizzle with lemon juice and stir gently to brighten the flavors.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
