Yield:
8 (1/2-cup) servings plus leftovers

Ingredients

  • 2 pound Brussels sprouts, halved lengthwise

  • 1 tablespoon rice oil or olive oil

  • 7 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 tablespoon butter

  • ½ bunch fresh thyme (about 10 sprigs)

  • 1 large sprig fresh rosemary, halved

  • 2 teaspoon fennel seeds

  • 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt or 1 tsp. salt

  • 1 tablespoon sherry or white wine vinegar

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan cook Brussels sprouts, uncovered, in enough lightly salted boiling water to cover for 3 minutes; drain well. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Place a very large heavy skillet or sauté pan over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add oil and garlic; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add half the butter. Increase heat to medium-high; carefully arrange half the sprouts, cut-sides down, in the hot skillet. Top with half the thyme, rosemary, fennel seeds, and salt. Cook, uncovered, 3 to 4 minutes or until the sprouts are well-browned. Remove sprouts from pan. Repeat with remaining butter, sprouts, thyme, rosemary, fennel seeds, and salt.

  3. Return all sprouts to skillet along with sherry. Quickly toss to distribute flavors. Makes 8 (1/2-cup) servings plus leftovers.

Tips

Step 1 may be done 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate the well-drained Brussels sprouts.
