Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any wilted outer leaves. Rinse under cold water and slice each sprout in half.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Place the halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes without stirring, until the cut side is golden brown.
Flip the sprouts and cook for another 2-3 minutes, then add the chicken or vegetable broth to deglaze the pan. Stir gently to coat the sprouts and let the broth simmer until evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir the paprika, salt, and black pepper into the butter sauce, then pour it over the cooked Brussels sprouts in the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low and toss the sprouts in the butter sauce to coat them evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately as a side dish or a main course accompaniment.
