Creamy brussels sprouts and leeks - creamy, cheesy, and bursting with flavors of sweet caramelized leeks, garlic and cumin - this recipe is quick, easy and utterly delicious.

INGREDIENTS

1 lbs leeks

1 lbs brussels sprouts

3 Tbs butter

3 Tbs olive oil

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tsp cumin

4 garlic cloves

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese + more for topping

INSTRUCTIONS

Saute the leeks in the butter until they are soft and begin to caramelize (about 10 minutes)

Cut the bottom part of the brussels sprouts, and halve or quarter them.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and add the brussels sprouts. Cook for 5 minutes and drain.

Saute the brussels sprouts in olive oil, salt and pepper, until they begin to get a nice color (5-7 minutes).

Add the leeks back to the pan, and stir.

Add the sour cream, mixed with the cumin, and smashed garlic and stir.

Add the Parmesan cheese, and combine everything.

Taste and adjust the garlic/salt/pepper content, and cook for just a couple more minutes.

Optionally, sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top, and put under the broiler to get a nice cheesy top.
