Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, halved
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced (white and pale green parts only)
2 morita or pasilla chiles, stemmed, seeded, and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and stir until coated with the butter, 1 minute. Add the broth, cover, and simmer until the Brussels sprouts are tender, about 7 minutes. Uncover and continue to simmer until all of the broth has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a medium bowl.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same pan. Add the green onions, chiles, and pine nuts. Saute until the nuts are toasted and the chiles are tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, return the Brussels sprouts to the pan, and toss to coat them with the cream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, bright green sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Trim and clean the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each sprout and remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves.
  • Cook Brussels sprouts thoroughly: Brussels sprouts should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Season Brussels sprouts well: Brussels sprouts have a slightly bitter flavor, so it's important to season them well. Salt, pepper, garlic, and olive oil are all good options.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to cook Brussels sprouts. Try roasting, sautéing, grilling, or even shredding them for a salad.

Conclusion:

Brussels sprouts are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and they can be a healthy addition to any diet. So next time you're looking for a new way to prepare vegetables, give Brussels sprouts a try.
