Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium-sized, finely diced Yellow onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts and halve them lengthwise. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halved Brussels sprouts cut side down, and cook for 6-8 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove the sprouts from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the finely diced onion and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion turns soft and golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the Brussels sprouts to the skillet and toss them gently to coat in the onion butter. Season with salt and black pepper, then cook for another 5 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, fish, or vegetarian mains.
