Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Stove
  • Frying Pan

Ingredients

  • 200 gram Brussel Sprouts
  • Butter for frying - preferably plenty
  • 15 gram Lemon Juice
  • Parmesan freshly grated - can be omitted
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Herbs can be omitted - but e.g., chopped flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

  • Start by preparing your Brussels sprouts.
  • Remove the outer leaves and a bit of the bottom/root.
  • Rinse them under cold water and dry them with a clean tea towel.
  • Cut them in half (unless they are very large - then quarter them).
  • Heat a pan on relatively high heat (11 out of 14 on my stove) and add butter when it is hot. When it foams, add the sprouts.
  • Preferably place them with the cut side down so they can get the most sear where they are flat.
  • Fry them for a couple of minutes and turn them around.
  • Add lemon juice (and possibly parmesan) and let them cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper and add herbs if desired.
