Description

Creamed Brussels Sprouts is a delicious vegetable side dish featuring tender shredded Brussels sprouts enveloped in a rich, creamy sauce infused with garlic and nutmeg. This comforting recipe is perfect for pairing with Sunday roasts or as a flavorful addition to any meal throughout the year.

Ingredients

Scale

Brussels Sprouts

  • 800 g Brussels sprouts (washed and trimmed)
  • 1 clove garlic (skin removed and bruised)

Sauce

  • 300 ml double cream (heavy cream)
  • Grated nutmeg, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts and cut a small cross at the base of the stem to ensure even cooking. Place them in a large pan of salted boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender.
  2. Drain and Shred: Once the sprouts are tender, drain them and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, finely shred the Brussels sprouts using a sharp kitchen knife.
  3. Make the Cream Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the double cream and bruised garlic clove. Heat over medium heat until the mixture reaches a slow boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Reduce the Sauce: Allow the cream mixture to reduce by half, then remove the garlic clove and discard it.
  5. Combine and Season: Stir the shredded Brussels sprouts into the reduced cream. Add grated nutmeg and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until the sprouts are fully coated in the creamy sauce.
  6. Warm and Serve: Gently warm the creamed Brussels sprouts through and serve immediately as a savory side dish.

Notes

  • Creamed Brussels sprouts make a flavorful and elegant vegetable side dish suitable for any season.
  • The small cross cut at the base of the Brussels sprouts helps them cook evenly and shred easily.
  • Shredding the sprouts creates a delicate texture that melds beautifully with the creamy sauce.
  • Adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to suit your taste preferences.
  • Serve alongside your favorite roast or hearty main courses for a classic comfort food experience.
