Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Sweet Hungarian paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground caraway seeds
• 100 milliliters Vegetable stock
• 100 grams Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove any discolored outer leaves, and cut each sprout in half.

Step 2

Peel the onion and slice it thinly. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion to the skillet, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and sauté for 5–6 minutes or until softened and golden.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, sweet paprika, and ground caraway seeds, and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut side down, and let them cook undisturbed for 4 minutes to allow them to lightly caramelize on one side.

Step 7

Flip the Brussels sprouts and stir them gently into the onion mixture to coat evenly with the spices.

Step 8

Pour in the vegetable stock, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 8–10 minutes on low heat until the Brussels sprouts are tender but not mushy.

Step 9

Stir in the sour cream, making sure it coats the Brussels sprouts evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 10

Transfer the dish to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm as a flavorful side dish with roasted meats or enjoy it as a vegetarian main course with crusty bread.
