Recipe Notes

• If you don’t have Dijon mustard, you can substitute prepared mustard. It will just be a little less spicy.

• The vinegar mixture will be very pungent while cooking.

• Store any leftover Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the fridge.

Here’s how to make it:

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir the sprouts to brown evenly.
   
2. Add water and cover. Let the sprouts steam until tender, about 5 minutes. If the water cooks off while steaming, add a little more (but not too much!). Remove the sprouts from the skillet.
   
3. Add vinegar, honey, mustard and garlic to the skillet and mix to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, and cook until syrupy, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
   
4. Return the Brussels sprouts to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Heat through. Season with salt and pepper.
   
5. Serve immediately.
