Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 100 grams Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and remove any outer leaves that are wilted or discolored. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.
Roughly chop the walnuts and set them aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the chopped walnuts to the skillet and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove the walnuts from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, followed by the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, but be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet cut-side down. Cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes, letting them develop a golden caramelized crust.
Season the Brussels sprouts with salt and black pepper, then stir and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes until tender but still slightly crispy.
Add the toasted walnuts back into the skillet and toss with the Brussels sprouts.
Finish the dish by sprinkling lemon zest over the top. Toss gently to combine and serve warm.
