Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium-sized, finely diced Yellow onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts and halve them lengthwise. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halved Brussels sprouts cut side down, and cook for 6-8 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove the sprouts from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the finely diced onion and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion turns soft and golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the Brussels sprouts to the skillet and toss them gently to coat in the onion butter. Season with salt and black pepper, then cook for another 5 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh garnish.

Step 7

Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, fish, or vegetarian mains.
