The technique: Sautéing is just cooking something quickly in a small amount of oil on the stovetop.
The payoff: The dish comes together quickly and the vegetables retain their texture.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    40 minutes

  • Yield

    Makes 10 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/4-inch-thick slices smoked ham (about 6 ounces), coarsely chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
2/3 cup low-salt chicken broth
Coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup pecans, toasted, chopped

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Trim root ends from brussels sprouts. Using sharp knife or processor fitted with coarse shredding disk, thinly slice brussels sprouts into shreds. DO AHEAD: Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

    Step 2

    Melt butter with olive oil in large deep skillet over medium heat. Add ham; sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; stir 30 seconds. Add brussels sprouts and broth; sauté until crisp-tender but still bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with coarse salt and black pepper. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with pecans.
