Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim the ends and any discolored outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Using a knife or a food processor with a shredding attachment, finely shred the Brussels sprouts and set them aside.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and zest the lime using a microplane or zester. Squeeze the juice from the lime and set both the zest and juice aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the pan. Stir well to coat them in the garlic and oil.
Cook the Brussels sprouts for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still vibrant green.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lime juice, lime zest, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro and a pinch of red pepper flakes for added flavor and color.
Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and serve warm as a side to complement your main course.
