Description

The season for Brussels sprouts is short, but you can prepare frozen Brussels sprouts in the same way. The key is that they should be well-frozen, maintaining their firmness and strength without turning into mush.

Ingredients

Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Salt - to taste
Garlic - 2 cloves
Champagne Vinegar - 2 spoons
Butter - 3.5 oz
Brussels Sprouts - 1½ kg

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the Brussels sprouts: remove the outer leaves and stems. Rinse them in water with vinegar or lemon juice. Bring salted water to a boil, add a handful of sprouts, and cover with a lid: when the water returns to a boil, add another handful. Once all the sprouts are in the pot, remove the lid to prevent the vegetables from losing their natural green color. The total cooking time is 20-25 minutes. Then, transfer the contents of the pot to a colander and rinse under cold water.

Step 2

If you are using butter: melt half of it in a skillet, add the cabbage and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, for 5 minutes, until the cabbage turns golden. Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan. Season the cabbage with salt and pour the melted butter over it just before serving.

Step 3

If you are using olive oil: heat it in a pan with chopped garlic; when the garlic starts to darken, remove it and add the cabbage to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until it turns golden. Season with pepper and drizzle with vinegar – or instead, simply stir in mustard. Serve immediately.
