Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. butter or olive oil


• ½ sweet onion finely chopped


• 2 cloves garlic crushed


• 1 cup cubed ham about ⅓ pound


• 1 lb. Brussels sprouts ends trimmed and thinly sliced


• 1 ½ Tbsp. brown sugar or coconut sugar


• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard


• ½ tsp. chili garlic paste or Sriracha sauce


• ¼ tsp. black pepper to taste


• 2 Tbsp. water optional


• ½-¾ tsp. salt to taste*

Instructions

• In a large saucepan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat add butter or oil, diced onion, and crushed garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until onions begin to soften.


• Add cubed ham and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the ham begins to brown.


• In a small bowl whisk together brown sugar, mustard, chili garlic sauce, and pepper. Add sauce and Brussels sprouts to skillet and stir to combine.


• Sauté sprouts for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until cooked to your desired doneness.


• If your Brussels sprouts are sticking to the bottom of the skillet too much, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to help loosen up the bits.


• Add salt to taste and serve with additional crushed black pepper.  Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

• The amount of salt you add depends largely on how salty your ham is. I would suggest starting with ¼ teaspoon salt and adding incrementally until you reach your desired level of saltiness.


• You can either buy pre-shredded Brussels sprouts, thinly slice them with a knife, or use a food processor with a slicing blade.
