Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Pepper
• 1 liter Water
• 1 bowl Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves. Slice larger sprouts in half, keeping smaller ones whole.

Step 2

Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.

Step 3

Add the Brussels sprouts to the boiling water and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender but still firm.

Step 4

Prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the Brussels sprouts are blanched, immediately transfer them to the ice water using a slotted spoon. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to stop the cooking process.

Step 5

Drain the Brussels sprouts and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Set them aside.

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

Step 7

Place the blanched Brussels sprouts in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Add chopped parsley and toss to coat evenly.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate overnight.

Step 9

Before serving, give the Brussels sprouts a gentle stir to redistribute the marinade. Serve chilled as a side dish or appetizer.
