Recipe Instructions:

Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Rinse 3 cups of Brussels sprouts under cold water, then trim the stems and remove any outer leaves that are blemished or discolored. Cut them in half if they’re large.
-
-
Cook the Brussels Sprouts: In a saucepan, combine the prepared Brussels sprouts, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and enough vegetable or chicken stock to cover the sprouts partially. Cover the saucepan, bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sprouts are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
-
Prepare the Butter and Caraway Sauce: While the sprouts are cooking, melt 1/4 cup of butter in a microwave-safe cup or bowl. Once melted, stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of caraway seed and 1/8 cup of lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
-
Combine and Serve: Once the sprouts are tender, drain any excess liquid from the saucepan. Then, pour the melted butter mixture over the cooked sprouts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Gently toss the sprouts to coat them completely in the buttery sauce.
-
Serve: Transfer the Brussels sprouts with butter and caraway to a serving dish and serve immediately while they’re hot and flavorful. These sprouts make a delightful side dish that pairs perfectly with meat and potatoes or any main course of your choice.
This quick and easy Brussels sprouts recipe transforms these humble little cabbages into a dish bursting with flavor, thanks to the fragrant caraway-infused butter sauce.
