Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 60 ml Water
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring until the cut sides are golden brown.
Season the Brussels sprouts with salt and black pepper. Add the water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Let the Brussels sprouts steam for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still firm.
Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the Brussels sprouts and give everything a final toss in the skillet.
Transfer the Lemon Dilled Brussels Sprouts to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
