Caramelized Lemony Brussels Sprouts Recipes

CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH LEMON

Steps:

• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 3 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Arrange sprouts in a single layer, cut sides down. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and a grind of two or black pepper. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Remove lid and sprinkle sprouts with water. Cover and cook for 2 minutes more. Sprouts should just be beginning to caramelize and, when pierced with a fork, slightly tender.
• Remove cover and increase heat slightly. When cut sides are well-caramelized, toss Brussels sprouts in pan, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with more salt and pepper to taste.

CARAMELIZED LEMONY BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• 1. In a skillet, combine sprouts and 1/2 cup water; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Simmer over medium heat; cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the water has evaporated and sprouts are not quite tender, about 6-8 minutes (add a little more water if skillet becomes dry before sprouts are done).
• 2. Increase heat to medium-high; add oil to skillet. Distribute lemon zest over sprouts. Continue to cook, uncovered, without stirring, until sprouts are golden brown on underside, 5 to 7 minutes.
• 3. Remove from heat, then give a couple squeezes of lemon juice; toss with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
