Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 300 g Red cabbage
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. If they are very large, quarter them. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.
Step 2
Cut the red cabbage into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Discard the core and any wilted outer leaves.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the brussels sprouts to the pan in an even layer, cut side down. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.
Step 6
Add the red cabbage strips and garlic to the pan. Stir everything together and sauté for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.
Step 7
Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Drizzle the honey (or maple syrup) over the vegetables and toss to combine.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the brussels sprouts are tender and the cabbage is fully softened.
Step 9
Remove the pan from the heat and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 10
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish to your main course or enjoy on its own.
