2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 small shallot, chopped

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced

1 cup heavy cream

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

Kosher salt

Directions

  1. Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until melted. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and stir until well coated in the butter. Add the cream, cayenne, nutmeg, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the Brussels sprouts are soft, about 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until they are tender and the liquid has reduced into a creamy sauce, about 10 minutes more.

This was one of the sides we brought to Thanksgiving. We did not slice the brussels sprouts, we halved the small sprouts and quartered the big ones. We prepped the sprouts and chopped the shallots and garlic the day before. Cooking on the day was quick and easy and the dish was a huge hit with all the family! Remember the brussels sprouts reduce in volume by at least a third once they are trimmed and cooked. We could have made more.
