Brussels sprouts fried in butter

I found the recipe for these fried Brussels sprouts in an old Icelandic cooking magazine with Christmas recipes, as a nice side dish for Christmas dinner. I also think it's very tasty - even I like red cabbage!

Ingredients

500 g Brussels sprouts

3 Tbsp sugar

25 g butter

1 tsp coarse sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp finely grated lemon peel

Preparation

Wash, clean and halve the Brussels sprouts.

Then put the Brussels sprouts in a pot of boiling water and cook for 2 minutes...

...and then lift it out of the water again and rinse it under ice-cold water.

Then put the Brussels sprouts in a large pan with the sugar and fry over low heat until the sugar melts.

Then add the butter and fry, stirring occasionally, until the butter has completely melted.

Remove the pan from the heat, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the grated lemon peel.

Then serve the Brussels sprouts straight away.

We had grilled salmon with it -

We've grilled at Christmas several times and I love it!
