Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any damaged outer leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, placing them cut side down in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Cook the Brussels sprouts for about 5-7 minutes without stirring, allowing them to brown on the cut side.
Once browned, toss the Brussels sprouts in the skillet and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, honey, and lemon juice. Mix well and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add the Brussels sprouts back into the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the mustard sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy it on its own!
