Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 150 g Smoked ham
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and trim the ends. Use a sharp knife or food processor to shred them into thin slices.
Step 2
Dice the smoked ham into small cubes and set aside.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
Heat olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble slightly.
Step 5
Add the diced smoked ham to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
Step 6
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Step 7
Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the skillet, tossing them with the ham and garlic. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Step 8
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender yet still bright green. Reduce the heat if they start browning too quickly.
Step 9
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the cooked sprouts and give everything a final toss to blend the flavors.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish, pairing it with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or as a standalone light meal.
