Thyme-Braised Brussels Sprouts

By Valarie

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 shallots, sliced
• 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
• 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or “no-chicken” broth
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring often, until the shallots are starting to brown and the Brussels sprouts are browned in spots, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in broth, thyme, salt and pepper; cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until the Brussels sprouts are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
