Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the caraway seeds and toast them for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, placing them cut-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring, allowing the cut sides to caramelize and turn golden brown.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the sprouts. Stir the sprouts gently to coat them in the butter and caraway mixture.
Pour 1 cup of water into the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the sprouts to steam for 6-8 minutes, or until tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting any remaining water evaporate and the sprouts to develop a slightly crispy texture.
Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and pour any remaining buttery sauce from the skillet over them. Serve warm and enjoy!
