We realize Brussels Sprouts are now out of season, but we can’t help ourselves.  We took a break for a while and now every time we ask “what are you craving” the answer include Brussels Sprouts.

This is our latest variation and it is delicious and easy.

Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

1 lb brussels sprouts (quartered)

4 tbsp olive oil (we used our best!)

2 tbsp butter

1/2 tsp of sea salt (heaping)

1 1/2 tsp black pepper

2 shallots (approx 1 cup)

1 tbsp dijon mustard

1 tbsp balsamic

 

Start by quartering the brussels the usual way.  Then slice the shallots into super thin rounds.

Next add the olive oil and the butter into a sautee pan (one that has a top).  Toss in the brussels, the sea salt and the fresh ground black pepper.  Turn the heat up to medium and get the brussels cooking.  Toss in the shallots once they start getting brown.  Cook for another two minutes or so.

Add the dijon and the balsamic.  Cover and turn the heat down super low.  Allow it to simmer for 30 minutes and then serve!
