Ingredients

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Shallot
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any outer yellow or damaged leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Finely dice the shallot and mince the garlic cloves. Set them aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.

Step 4

Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the pan, cut side down. Cook without stirring for about 5-6 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown.

Step 5

Stir in the diced shallot and minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour the vegetable broth into the pan, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the Brussels sprouts braise for 10-12 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the lid and let any remaining liquid reduce slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Turn off the heat, stir in the lemon juice, and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
