Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 4 whole Shallots
- 1 tablespoon Mustard seeds
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
Peel and thinly slice the shallots. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Add the mustard seeds to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until they begin to pop, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the sliced shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften and start to caramelize.
Add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown.
Season the Brussels sprouts with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Stir to combine, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Add the water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and allow the sprouts to steam for 3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes to evaporate any remaining liquid and intensify the flavors.
Finish with a drizzle of lemon juice and toss gently to coat.
Serve hot as a flavorful side dish.
