Ingredients

• 500 g Brussels sprouts
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 250 ml Vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 100 ml Heavy cream
• 1 tsp Honey
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Place the halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the pan. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, allowing them to caramelize slightly.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth, then cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sprouts braise for 8-10 minutes, or until they become tender but not mushy.

Step 7

Remove the lid and stir in the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and honey. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken and coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.

Step 9

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm as a side dish or light entrée.
