Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1/2 cup port wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 tablespoons finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and toss with the oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until tender and browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Stir in the port, vinegar and thyme and boil until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the broth and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the chocolate and honey and simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl and drizzle with the sauce.

I was skeptical about the chocolate port sauce, but it was surprisingly good. The sweetness of the chocolate balanced out the bitterness of the Brussels sprouts perfectly.
