Brussels Sprouts in Garlic Butter

Recipe #21761 | 25 min | 10 min prep | add private note

This is a recipe from Joy of Cooking... totally changed my mind about Brussels Sprouts! It's imperative that you use fresh sprouts, the texture would be way off with the frozen ones.

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt butter and olive oil in a medium skillet (over medium-high heat) until butter is foamy.
  2. 2
    Reduce heat to medium, add smashed garlic and cook until lightly browned.
  3. 3
    Remove garlic and discard.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    The cut side of the sprouts should get nice and browned, with a nutty, buttery flavor enhanced by garlic.
  6. 6
    Top with freshly grated parmesan and salt& pepper to taste.

    Very good. I made this the other night for a veggie and my family loved them. I really liked the addition of parmesan cheese, delicious. Thank you for posting.

    Normally I steam the brussel sprouts then saute in browned garlic butter and sprinkle with parmesan. So I figured this was just another avenue to the same thing. WRONG!!. These are fabulous and far superior to the way I made them before. The cooking time was perfect and the brown roasty part is an excellent touch. Even with exactly the same ingredients this technique produces a much better result. Do not forget to salt and pepper liberally. At the end of cooking I did swirl in another pat of butter. Only minor problem is that if you are cooking for a crowd you will need a couple of pans. This will be my sprout standard from now on. Now I am sure I want to adopt Tracy.
