Serrano Pepper Crema Brussel Sprouts

Raise your hand if you were one of those kids that grew up hating Brussel Sprouts? I was also one of those kids - I thought they were so gross! Fast forward a couple years to when I am 30 …. and now i LOVE them. This recipe imp-articular is my favorite. It is so full of flavor with a little heat. These are a crowd favorite at Christmas time in our family and incredibly easy to make. It was a no brainer to include these in the ‘12 Days of Recipes’.

Ingredients

• 20-30 Medium Sized Brussel sprouts, rinsed and cut in halves length wise

• 1-2 Serrano Peppers, sliced (or 1 jalapeno)

• 1/2 Cup Mayonaise

• 1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt

• 4 Garlic Cloves, minced

• 3 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil (or Evoolution Garlic & Jalapeno Infused Oil)

• 1 Tsp. Salt

• 1 Tsp. Pepper

Directions

• Using a nutribullet or blender, combine the mayo, greek yogurt, peppers, salt and pepper. Blend until fully pureed. Keep refrigerated until needed.

• In a frying pan, heat the vegetable over medium heat. Once heated lay the brussel sprouts in and sprinkle with a little salt/pepper add a couple tablespoons of water to help the cooking process. Cover pan with lid to keep heat in and pan fry 10-15 minutes or until brussel sprouts are almost fully cooked. Turn sprouts periodically to ensure all sides are cooked evenly.

• Remove lid and finish the brussel sprouts by frying them until they are gold brown! Drizzle with serrano pepper crema and serve.
