Instructions
- Trim the base, removing any damaged leaves from the Brussels sprouts, then run under cold running water. Cut the sprouts in half for faster cooking.
- Steam Sprouts by either using a steamer or hot water for about 5 minutes. See notes
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until fragrant and tender.
- Using a slotted spoon remove the browned cloves and set aside. The garlic should have infused with the oil at this point. Now carefully add the Brussels sprouts into the hot oil, cut side down, and sprinkle with salt and chili flakes.
- Allow them to cook without stirring for about 2 minutes, then stir and continue to cook until nicely browned, about 3 minutes more.
- Stir in the charred garlic, lime juice, and zest, and remove from the heat. Taste and adjust with some more salt according to your taste.
Notes
- If using a bamboo steamer, place the bamboo steamer into a wide-rimmed, shallow pan or skillet, and fill it with enough water to come up above the bottom rim of the steamer by about a quarter inch. For easy cleaning, line the steamer with parchment paper.
- Add in the sprouts, and cover with the lid. Steam over high heat until almost tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- It is a good dish to make ahead of time if you have guests coming. If it has to be made ahead, prior to serving just reheat in microwave or oven for a few minutes and serve.
- To steam the Brussel sprouts either use a bamboo steamer or your preferred choice of steaming
- If you don't have a steamer, steam the Brussels sprouts in boiling water for 4-5 minutes until fork tender. Discard the water. This is what you refer to as blanching.
