Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- Zest and juice from 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon light vinegar (white wine, Champagne, or rice wine all work)
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Place the lemon juice in a large bowl.
- Trim the stem end off the sprouts and discard. Halve the sprouts lengthwise, and thinly slice crosswise.
- As you work, transfer the sliced sprouts to the bowl with lemon juice, tossing to combine.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat for a minute or two, and then add the olive oil.
- Add the sprouts, garlic, mustard seeds, and the salt and cook, stirring often until sprouts are slightly wilted, about 5 minutes.
- Add the vinegar, a splash of water, and a few grinds of black pepper. Continue to cook for about 1 minute.
- Remove from the heat, add the lemon zest, and serve.
