Basic Garlic Butter Brussels Sprouts Recipes

BRUSSELS SPROUTS IN GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt butter and olive oil in a medium skillet (over medium-high heat) until butter is foamy.
• Reduce heat to medium, add smashed garlic and cook until lightly browned.
• Remove garlic and discard.
• Add sprouts cut side down, cover, and cook without stirring on medium-low heat 10-15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife.
• The cut side of the sprouts should get nice and browned, with a nutty, buttery flavor enhanced by garlic.
• Top with freshly grated parmesan and salt& pepper to taste.

BASIC GARLIC BUTTER BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• If you can, get your brussels sprouts from a store that sells them loose in bins; pick out the smaller, tight sprouts.
• To cook them, clean and trim the sprouts, removing the bottom stem and tougher outside leaves (very important!).
• You've already cut the bottom of the stalk off: now cut an"X" into the bottom of each sprout (about an 1/8 of an inch deep).
• Steam the sprouts for about 20 minutes, until they are soft (everybody prefers theirs in their own way, but I cannot stand crunchy brussels sprouts).
• While the sprouts are steaming, sauté the minced garlic in a little bit of butter for about 3 minutes, then combine them into the rest of the melted butter.
• When spouts are done cooking place them in a serving dish, pour the melted garlic butter over the sprouts, season lightly with salt and pepper, and serve.

EASY GARLIC BUTTER SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, halve the brussels sprouts.
• Snap off any outer leaves that might be browning and discard. Finely chop/mince the garlic and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet or pan over medium high heat.
• Add a tablespoon of olive oil then add the halved brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper.
• Allow to sauté, tossing regularly, allowing the sprouts to caramelize.
• Once crisp tender, stir in the butter, garlic and chilli flakes (I use up to a half teaspoon for a nice spicy bite).
• Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the sprouts are cooked through (they're done when the tip of a sharp knife can easily be inserted).
• Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice then serve.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BROWNED BUTTER

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add Brussels sprouts; cook until slightly tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and run sprouts under cold water to stop the cooking process. Trim ends off each Brussels sprout and slice sprouts in half.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; arrange Brussels sprouts, cut sides down, in the hot oil. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook Brussels sprouts, keeping them in the same place, until cut sides are browned, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Mix red onion and garlic into Brussels sprouts; cook and stir mixture until Brussels sprouts are cooked through but still firm, 10 to 13 more minutes.
• Place butter in a cold saucepan; place saucepan over medium heat. Cook butter until it begins to bubble and foam, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cook, constantly stirring, until butter begins to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour browned butter over Brussels sprouts; toss to coat.
