Buttery Sage Onion Sprouts Recipes

BUTTERY SAGE & ONION SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat half the butter in a large frying pan and soften the onions over a low heat for about 15 mins until really soft - but don't let it brown. Add most of the sage. Meanwhile, cook the sprouts in a pan of boiling water for about 4 mins, add the peas and cook for 1 min more until just tender.
• Drain, reserving a splash of the water, then add the sprouts and peas to the onions, along with the rest of the butter, stirring well so that all the veg gets coated in the butter. Add the reserved cooking water if it looks a bit dry.
• Season with lots of black pepper and some salt. Serve with the reserved sage on top.

• Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onion, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion is wilted. Add the sprouts and stir until the sprouts are coated with butter and are hot. 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.
