Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any outer leaves that are yellow or damaged. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the mustard seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Place the halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to caramelize and develop a golden-brown crust.

Step 7

Stir the Brussels sprouts, season with salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes if using. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are tender yet still slightly crisp.

Step 8

Drizzle the lemon juice over the sprouts, toss to combine, and cook for 1 more minute to meld the flavors.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
