Sweet and tangy flavor to one of our favorite veggies!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds of Brussel sprouts, halved
- 1/4 finely chopped red onion
- 2 large cloves of garlic or equivalent (4 small)
- 3 T olive oil
- 2 TBS butter
- 3 T honey
- 2 T balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- dash of pepper
Instructions
- First, wash the Brussels sprouts by rinsing them thoroughly in a colander. Then, trim the stem sides and cut them in half.
- Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium-low heat. Next, stir in the Brussels sprouts, tossing them with a wooden spoon to coat them in olive oil.
- Now, add the chopped onions and butter pads on top of the Brussels and let melt.
- Once the butter has melted, stir to coat. Cook for 15 minutes, caramelizing onions and browning the Brussels sprouts evenly.
- Next, put the lid on with a slight air gap to steam the Brussels while they are sautéing for 5 – 10 more minutes. Adjust the time based on how cooked you prefer your vegetables. At 5 minutes, they will still be slightly crunchy, or at 10 they will be softer.
- Remove the lid, add the minced or pressed garlic, stir, and continue cooking on medium-low for 1 minute or until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add honey and balsamic vinegar and stir to coat while continuing to cook on low.
- Then finally add salt and a dash of pepper. Stir one final time and then let cook for 2 more minutes uncovered. The onions, loose leaves, and outsides of the Brussels sprouts should be caramelized and saucy.
