Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Shallots
A quick and healthy side dish that pairs well with many main courses!
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- approx 1 pound Brussels sprouts stem removed, sliced; I like to use the steam-in-bag ones
- 1 small shallot chopped
- garlic salt, freshly ground black pepper to taste
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- balsamic vinegar to drizzle; optional
- sprinkle of Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a shallow pan with a lid. Add Brussels sprouts and sprinkle lightly with garlic salt, black pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Cover and saute for about 5 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. When sprouts have browned a bit in places and are close to tender, add in the shallot and cook another minute or two. Stir in the butter and cook a bit longer as the butter melts into the sprouts.
- Just before serving, drizzle with a bit of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
