Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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*)

Instruction

  • 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!
