Creamy Cucumber Brussels Sprouts Recipes

CREAMY BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until melted. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and stir until well coated in the butter. Add the cream, cayenne, nutmeg, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the Brussels sprouts are soft, about 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until they are tender and the liquid has reduced into a creamy sauce, about 10 minutes more.

CREAM-BRAISED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are browned in spots, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the cream, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the sprouts are tender and easily pierced with a fork, 30 to 35 minutes. The cream will have reduced in volume, and will have taken on a creamy beige color. Remove the lid, and stir in the lemon juice. Allow the sprouts to simmer a few minutes more until the cream thickens and coats the sprouts. Season to taste with additional salt and lemon juice before serving.
