Ingredients

16 ounces Brussels sprouts (454g)
juice and zest of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
pinch salt
5.3 ounces dried cranberries (150g)
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ stick salted butter (2 ounces / 55g)

Instructions

Trim the bottoms off of the sprouts and then slice thinly or put through a food processor with the slicing attachment.
Add the sliced sprouts, lemon juice, zest, salt, pepper, cranberries and olive oil to a large bowl and combine.
Place a skillet on a medium high heat and melt half of the butter. Once melted, add half of the sprout mixture and turn the heat to high. Stir the sprouts while cooking for about 3 - 4 minutes until softened but still a vibrant green.
Transfer to a plate. Melt the rest of the butter in the skillet, add the sprouts and cook.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Use small Brussels sprouts - they tend to be less bitter, and organic if possible.
If cutting the sprouts by hand, slice them thinly.
Use the slicing tool on a food processor to prep the sprouts quickly.
If you use unsalted butter to sauté the sprouts, add a little more salt to the sprouts before cooking.
It's best to cook the sprouts in two batches, you don't want to over crowd the skillet.
Serve immediately.
