🥬 Giada De Laurentiis Brussel Sprouts Agrodolce Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 shallot, chopped

🥙 How To Make Giada De Laurentiis Brussel Sprouts Agrodolce

1. Set a small pot on medium heat. Bring it back to a boil and add one tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and stir it around a lot while cooking for about two minutes, until it’s soft and smells good.
2. Turn the heat up to low and add the vinegar and maple syrup. Simmer for 15 minutes to make it a little less thick. Take it off the heat and add the cranberries.
3. In the meantime, heat a big pan over medium-high heat. Warm it up for one more minute after adding the last three tablespoons of olive oil.
4. Leave the Brussels sprouts to cook in the pan for about 3 minutes, until they start to brown and get soft.
5. Add the salt. After you stir the sprouts, cook for three more minutes to make them brown even more. To make the browning even, stir again and cook for three more minutes.
6. Put the maple mixture into the pan and mix it well. Bring to a boil, and then keep cooking for another two minutes to thin out the glaze a bit. Warm up and serve.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Caramelization is Key: When sautéing the Brussels sprouts, allow them to cook undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a nice caramelized exterior.
• Trimming Brussels Sprouts: Trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any damaged outer leaves before halving them.
• Balancing Sweet and Tangy: Adjust the maple syrup and apple cider vinegar to your taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add more maple syrup; for more tang, increase the vinegar.
• Cranberry Burst: The cranberries add a delightful tartness and pop of color. You can also use dried cranberries if fresh ones are not available.
• Quick Glaze Thinning: After adding the maple mixture to the pan, let it simmer for a couple of minutes to thin out the glaze slightly. This ensures a good coating on the sprouts.
