Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 150 g Smoked ham
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and trim the ends. Use a sharp knife or food processor to shred them into thin slices.
Dice the smoked ham into small cubes and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble slightly.
Add the diced smoked ham to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the skillet, tossing them with the ham and garlic. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender yet still bright green. Reduce the heat if they start browning too quickly.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the cooked sprouts and give everything a final toss to blend the flavors.
Serve immediately as a side dish, pairing it with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or as a standalone light meal.
