Brussels Sprouts 'Slaw' With Mustard Butter
- 1 stick butter, at room temperature
- 1 large clove garlic, put through a press
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Dijon or whole-grain Meaux mustard
- 3 tablespoons minced green onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound brussels sprouts
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds or celery seeds, bruised in a mortar (optional)
- Lemon wedges
- Place the butter in a medium bowl and add the garlic, 2 tablespoons of the mustard, the green onions and the parsley.
- Mix well.
- Add more mustard and salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
- Trim the root ends of the sprouts and remove loose or discolored leaves.
- Cut the sprouts in half and then crosswise into fine shreds.
- (Do not use a food processor; the leaves will be too fine.)
- Melt 1/2 cup of the mustard butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Saute the sprouts until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in the caraway seeds, more mustard butter and salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
