Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 liter Water
- 1 bowl Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves. Slice larger sprouts in half, keeping smaller ones whole.
Step 2
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.
Step 3
Add the Brussels sprouts to the boiling water and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender but still firm.
Step 4
Prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the Brussels sprouts are blanched, immediately transfer them to the ice water using a slotted spoon. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Step 5
Drain the Brussels sprouts and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Set them aside.
Step 6
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Step 7
Place the blanched Brussels sprouts in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Add chopped parsley and toss to coat evenly.
Step 8
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate overnight.
Step 9
Before serving, give the Brussels sprouts a gentle stir to redistribute the marinade. Serve chilled as a side dish or appetizer.
