Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 200 grams Pre-cooked chestnuts
- 50 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends and slicing them in half.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat, and add the butter and olive oil.
Once the butter has melted, add the garlic slices and fresh thyme leaves. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the halved Brussels sprouts to the pan, cut side down. Cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring to allow them to caramelize.
Toss the sprouts, then add the pre-cooked chestnuts to the pan. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Drizzle the honey over the mixture and season it with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine, allowing the honey to glaze the sprouts and chestnuts.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove the pan from heat.
Transfer the Christmas Chestnut Brussels Sprouts to a serving dish and garnish with extra thyme leaves if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your festive side dish!
