Instructions

Finely chop the Brussels sprouts and water chestnuts with a knife (or in a food processor) and into small pieces.

Place in a bowl with lemon juice and toss to coat (this should prevent the leaves from losing their bright color). At this point you can cover the brussel sprouts and refrigerate for several hours until you’re ready to cook them.

Heat butter and oil in a saute and pan over medium heat. Saute the brussel sprouts for 2 minutes. Add the salt, garlic, zest and poppy seeds and continue to cook an additional 2 minutes.

Pour in the chicken stock and cook 1 more minute.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Shred Brussels Sprouts Ahead for Time Savings ⏱️
Shred your Brussels sprouts using a food processor 2-3 hours before cooking and store in the refrigerator to save prep time at the last minute while keeping them fresh and crisp.
Dry Your Shredded Sprouts for Better Texture 💧
Pat the shredded Brussels sprouts dry with paper towels before cooking to remove excess moisture, which ensures they sauté properly and achieve a tender-crisp texture rather than becoming mushy.
Toast the Poppy Seeds First 🌱
Lightly toast the poppy seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before adding to unlock their nutty flavor and enhance their calcium-rich nutritional profile without adding extra fat.
Add Lemon Zest at the End 🍋
Reserve your lemon zest and add it as a final garnish after cooking to preserve its bright, aromatic oils and prevent the citrus flavor from becoming muted or bitter during the cooking process.
Create a Quick Pan Reduction for Depth 🫕
After sautéing the Brussels sprouts, deglaze the pan with the chicken stock and lemon juice, then simmer for 1-2 minutes to concentrate the flavors and create a light, flavorful sauce that coats each sprout.
