Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 200 grams Pre-cooked chestnuts
- 50 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends and slicing them in half.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat, and add the butter and olive oil.
Step 4
Once the butter has melted, add the garlic slices and fresh thyme leaves. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the halved Brussels sprouts to the pan, cut side down. Cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring to allow them to caramelize.
Step 6
Toss the sprouts, then add the pre-cooked chestnuts to the pan. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Drizzle the honey over the mixture and season it with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine, allowing the honey to glaze the sprouts and chestnuts.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove the pan from heat.
Step 9
Transfer the Christmas Chestnut Brussels Sprouts to a serving dish and garnish with extra thyme leaves if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your festive side dish!
