EASY GARLIC BUTTER SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, halve the brussels sprouts.
• Snap off any outer leaves that might be browning and discard. Finely chop/mince the garlic and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet or pan over medium high heat.
• Add a tablespoon of olive oil then add the halved brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper.
• Allow to sauté, tossing regularly, allowing the sprouts to caramelize.
• Once crisp tender, stir in the butter, garlic and chilli flakes (I use up to a half teaspoon for a nice spicy bite).
• Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the sprouts are cooked through (they're done when the tip of a sharp knife can easily be inserted).
• Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice then serve.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS SAUTE

Steps:

• Cut each brussels sprout lengthwise in half.
• In 5 quart dutch oven over high heat in hot oil, cook sprouts, stirring often, 5 minutes.
• Add mustard, salt and 1/4 cup water.
• Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• If using something like bacon or sausage, start by browning the meat in a large skillet (10 to 12 inches) over medium-high heat to render the fat. Once the meat is cooked, remove it with a slotted spoon, leaving behind the drippings. (You can add the crispy meat bits back later.)
• Add halved brussels sprouts to the fat, shaking the skillet so that as many as possible land cut side down. Now, don't touch! Disturbing the skillet at this point would prevent the sprouts from caramelizing. Cook until they have a nice sear on one side, 5 to 8 minutes. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, give them a stir and continue to cook until they're nicely browned all over and just tender on the inside, another 5 to 8 minutes.
• Just before removing from the heat, add in a handful of aromatics, like chopped garlic, sliced onion, thyme sprigs or dried chiles, tossing to coat and cooking only a minute or two. Stir in the reserved bacon or sausage bits, if using.
• Finish with either a squeeze of halved lemon, a splash of nice vinegar or a handful of pickled onions or shallots. Because of the sprouts' meaty flavor profile, it's also nice to hit them with a smattering of fresh herbs, especially parsley, cilantro or mint. Salt and pepper to taste.

LEMON ROASTED FINGERLINGS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Roast 20-25 minutes or until tender, stirring once., In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, garlic, mustard, honey and remaining oil and salt until blended. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl; drizzle with vinaigrette and toss to coat. Serve warm.

SAUTéED GREEN BEANS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CHILE AND MINT

Steps:

• Cook green beans in a 4-quart pot of well-salted boiling water, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat oil with red pepper flakes in a 12-inch heavy skillet (preferably straight-sided) over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sauté Brussels sprouts with 1/2 teaspoon salt until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes.
• Add beans and sauté 2 minutes. Add water and boil until evaporated and vegetables are just tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in mint. Season with salt.

STIR-FRIED SPROUTS WITH GREEN BEANS, LEMON & PINE NUTS

Cook for a couple of seconds, then add the vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 mins until the sprouts colour a little. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
