Fresh and lemony, this side dish is the ideal palate-cleansing pairing for meaty mains. If you don’t have pine nuts, sliced or chopped almonds provide a similar crunch.

Ingredients

Brussels sprouts

2 pound(s), ends and brown outer leaves trimmed

Unsalted butter

1 tbsp(s)

Shallots

3 medium, minced

Fresh basil

¼ cup(s), minced, plus more for garnish

Fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp(s)

Kosher salt

2 tsp(s)

Black pepper

¼ tsp(s)

Pine nuts

8 tsp(s), toasted, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a food processor fitted with the slicing attachment, thinly slice the Brussels sprouts. (If you don’t have a food processor, use a mandoline or knife.)
  2. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until slightly softened, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the basil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Garnish with the pine nuts and additional basil.
