Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 whole Shallot
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half, or quarter them if they are large.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the shallot. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Once melted and shimmering, add the prepared Brussels sprouts.

Step 4

Cook the Brussels sprouts for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and slightly softened. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.

Step 5

While the sprouts are cooking, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and water in a small bowl to create the mustard sauce.

Step 6

Once the sprouts are nearly done, push them to one side of the skillet. Add the diced shallot and minced garlic to the cleared area and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 7

Pour the mustard sauce into the skillet and mix everything together until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated. Let the sauce heat through for about 1–2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
