Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 medium shallots, divided
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

  1. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Add Brussels sprouts, cover and cook until very tender, about 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, thinly slice one of the shallots and toss with 1 tbsp flour. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced shallot and cook, stirring occasionally until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Mince the remaining shallot. Add butter to the pan and cook until melted. Add the minced shallot and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Whisk in the remaining 1 tbsp flour, then milk, salt and pepper. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in Parmesan. Stir the Brussels sprouts into the sauce. Serve topped with the crispy shallots.
