When you brown butter, as in this recipe, the flavor intensifies so adding just a little to Brussels sprouts still makes a big impact.

4 servings, 3/4 cup each | Active Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted (see Tip)
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Preparation

Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add Brussels sprouts, cover and steam until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling often, until the butter turns a nutty brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir in oil and scrape into a large bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the Brussels sprouts, almonds, vinegar, dill, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
