Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 250 grams Cremini or button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the stem ends and removing any outer leaves that are yellow or damaged. Slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Cut into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 5–6 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and pat dry.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until they release their moisture and start to brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts and sautéed mushrooms. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss until everything is well-coated.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Before serving, let the marinated Brussels sprouts and mushrooms sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes. Toss again and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve as a side dish or as a flavorful addition to salads, grain bowls, or roasted meats.
