Ingredients you'll need
- 1kg Brussels sprouts
- 2 garlic cloves
- 100g butter
- A handful of thyme, leaves only
- 1 lemon
From your kitchen
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Step by step this way
- 1.
Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim the stalky ends so they’re neat and flat. Pull off any torn leaves. Halve the sprouts.
- 2.
Peel the garlic cloves and thinly slice them. Pick the thyme leaves off their woody sprigs and roughly chop them.
- 3.
Add 100g of the butter to a deep frying pan or wok and melt over a medium heat. Add the sprouts with a little pinch of salt. Slide in the sliced garlic and thyme leaves. Stir and fry for 4-5 mins so the sprouts are just tender, and are coated in the butter.
- 4.
When the sprouts are cooked, squeeze over some lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, stir and serve.
