Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Trim the Brussels sprouts by removing any yellow or tough outer leaves and slicing off the ends if needed. Wash them thoroughly.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and blanch them for 5-7 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the blanched Brussels sprouts and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly caramelized.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to coat the Brussels sprouts.
Step 5
Season with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a fresh, tangy finish.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side dish to complement meats or hearty Belgian dishes.
