Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. butter or olive oil
- ½ sweet onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 cup cubed ham about ⅓ pound
- 1 lb. Brussels sprouts ends trimmed and thinly sliced
- 1 ½ Tbsp. brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp. chili garlic paste or Sriracha sauce
- ¼ tsp. black pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp. water optional
- ½-¾ tsp. salt to taste*
Instructions
- In a large saucepan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat add butter or oil, diced onion, and crushed garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until onions begin to soften.
- Add cubed ham and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the ham begins to brown.
- In a small bowl whisk together brown sugar, mustard, chili garlic sauce, and pepper. Add sauce and Brussels sprouts to skillet and stir to combine.
- Sauté sprouts for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
- If your Brussels sprouts are sticking to the bottom of the skillet too much, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to help loosen up the bits.
- Add salt to taste and serve with additional crushed black pepper. Enjoy!
Notes
- The amount of salt you add depends largely on how salty your ham is. I would suggest starting with ¼ teaspoon salt and adding incrementally until you reach your desired level of saltiness.
- You can either buy pre-shredded Brussels sprouts, thinly slice them with a knife, or use a food processor with a slicing blade.
