The much hated brussels sprout is reborn with new life and pizzazz! Brussels Sprouts with Corn and Onions has a spicy option, which gets a thumbs up from me! Searing the sprouts gives them so much flavour! Surely, these will win over the most rigid hater of this humble vegetable.
1poundBrussels sprouts,washed, trimmed, and halved lengthwise
2cupscorn,frozen
1largeonion,thinly sliced
2clovesgarlic,minced
2tablespoonssalted butter
2tablespoonsolive oil
¼teaspoondried red chili flakes
¼teaspoonsalt
¼teaspoonground black pepper
Instructions
In a heavy-bottomed skillet, over medium heat, add one tablespoon of the olive oil and one tablespoon of the butter. Allow these two ingredients to melt together.
When the butter and oil begins to bubble, add the Brussels sprouts to the pan (cut side down) and sprinkle with half the amount of salt and pepper. (Reserve the rest.)
Once the sprouts are browned, turn them over and brown the other side. This should take about 10 minutes in total.
Remove the sprouts from the skillet and place in a glass bowl. Set aside.
Add the remaining butter, oil, salt and pepper; sauté the onion for 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
Next, add the frozen corn and red pepper flakes. Stir into the onion mixture. Sauté for 5 minutes until the corn is fully heated through.
Add the sprouts back into the pan and toss all ingredients together. Continue to cook for 5 minutes until all ingredients are fully heated and married together.
