Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 4 whole Shallots
• 1 tablespoon Mustard seeds
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the shallots. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 4

Add the mustard seeds to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until they begin to pop, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 5

Add the sliced shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften and start to caramelize.

Step 6

Add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown.

Step 7

Season the Brussels sprouts with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Stir to combine, cooking for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and allow the sprouts to steam for 3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.

Step 9

Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes to evaporate any remaining liquid and intensify the flavors.

Step 10

Finish with a drizzle of lemon juice and toss gently to coat.

Step 11

Serve hot as a flavorful side dish.
