Creamy Brussels Sprouts with Lemon
Recipe Type:
Brussels Sprouts,
Cream
Yields: 4 to 6 servings
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 30 min
Ingredients:
1 pound Brussels sprouts, cleaned
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Coarse
salt
to taste
1/2 cup half and half
cream
Juice from 1/2 lemon
Finely-ground
black pepper
to taste
Red cayenne pepper to taste
Preparation:
Cut the stems from the Brussels
Sprouts, halve each one lengthwise, and remove any blemished
leaves. Cut out any large cores. Slice each in half.
In
a heavy Dutch oven, melt the butter. Add the prepared Brussels Sprouts and salt;
sauté until they just begin to brown, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the half and half cream, cover with a lid,
and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook until the sprouts are soft but still hold
together, approximately 30 minutes.
Remove the lid, stir in the lemon juice and cook,
uncovered, for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to further reduce the cream to a
glaze. Sprinkle the black pepper and cayenne pepper over the top.
Remove from heat and serve hot.
Makes 4 servings.
