This dish is known in Spain as Coles de Bruselas al Ajillo, and what makes it stand out above the rest is the amazing garlic flavor. But let me tell you, the back bone of this dish is using a great Spanish extra virgin olive oil. As it´s what really flavors the brussels sprouts.

To make this recipe I used fresh brussels sprouts. But you can also use frozen. Just make sure to fully thaw out. After washing the brussels sprouts, I used a salad spinner to dry them. But you can always just pat them dry with a dishcloth.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: Once you add the brussels sprouts into the hot pan, mix them with the olive oil and then place them cut side down in a single layer. Cook them for about 5 minutes without mixing. This is what gives them that beautiful crusty sear.
