Brussels Sprouts Stir-Fry
Print This Recipe
INGREDIENTS 2 pounds brussels sprouts
3 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup thinly sliced shallots
1/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepperBring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, trim the bottoms of the brussels sprouts and remove any shriveled or discolored leaves. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise, or into quarters if large.
Add the sprouts to the boiling water and cook until just tender and bright green - 3 to 5 minutes; drain immediately. (The sprouts can be prepared ahead to this point, cooled, covered and refrigerated.)
In a large deep skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until translucent - 3 to 5 minutes. Add the brussels sprouts, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until heated through and just beginning to brown slightly - about 3 minutes. Serve hot.
