An awesome Christmas side dish that will be discussed at the table!

 

What we will need: (for 8 servings)

 

25g. butter

2 red onions

700 g. Brussels sprouts (preferably small)

1 tbsp. brown sugar

2 tsp sherry vinegar

 

Method:

 

In a heavy-bottomed nonstick pan, melt your butter and then add your onion (cut into slices).  Allow the onions to caramelize over medium heat for approximately 6 – 8 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon so that they cook evenly.  Once they take on a golden color, they are ready.

 

Put your pan to the side while you prepare your Brussel sprouts.

 

Boil the sprouts in a pot of salted water for about 3 – 4 minutes, until tender.  Pierce with a fork to check that they’re ready.

 

Go back to your caramelized onions and add your sugar and sherry vinegar to the pan.  Bring to the boil on a low heat to give the flavors a chance to blend and become enhanced.  As soon as the liquid starts bubbling, remove the pan from the heat.

 

You can now place the cooked Brussel sprouts in a bowl and stir in your caramelized onions, or – for an even sweeter flavor – throw your Brussel sprouts into the pan with the caramelized onions and glaze them slightly over a low heat and then place in a serving bowl or platter.

 

Delicious!!
