The preparations
Those of you who want to try this simple vegetable side dish must proceed as follows.
The first step is to take care of the Brussels sprouts. First of all, remove the outer leaves from the sprouts. Because sometimes they don’t look so appetizing. Once the leaves are removed, the next step is to cut the top off the Brussels sprouts stalk. Once that is done, a small cross is cut into the bottom of the stalk.
Once the preparations for the Brussels sprouts are pretty much complete, the Brussels sprouts must first be washed thoroughly. Once that is also done, the Brussels sprouts are cooked in a saucepan with enough water that is also seasoned with a good pinch of salt and sugar. This takes about 15 – 16 minutes.
While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, take care of the onion. The onion is peeled and cut into small fine cubes. Once that is also done, the last step is to just get all the other ingredients for this side dish handy and you can get on with the simple preparation.
Preparation of creamed Brussels sprouts
In the first step of the preparation you turn again to the Brussels sprouts. Because the cooking time should also be over. If this is the case, remove the Brussels sprouts from the boiling water and quench them in ice water. While this is happening, heat some butter in a saucepan. Once the butter is melted and hot enough, the onion cubes are sautéed in the hot butter until translucent. At the same time, add the brussels sprouts to the pot.
When the brief sautéing is done, deglaze with vegetable broth and cream. Then season the vegetable garnish with a pinch of salt, pepper and sugar. If you like, you can also add some grated nutmeg. Then all the ingredients must cook again over medium heat for about 3 – 4 minutes. When this cooking time is also over, the cream sauce is thickened with a little light sauce thickener to taste. If the last preparation step done, you have done it and the delicious vegetable side dish can be served.
