Smokey Brussels Sprouts in Charred Cream

1-2 lb of Brussels sprouts

heavy cream

salt

paprika

garlic

squeeze of lemon

Parmesan cheese

1. Coat a large saute pan with some heavy cream and a pinch of salt.
2. Add a layer of halved Brussels sprouts, cut side down. Sprinkle with smoked paprika and granulated garlic. Turn on heat to medium high. Do NOT stir. (yet)
3. After a few minutes, the liquid in the cream will evaporate, leaving behind gorgeous fat that will char the edges a bit. Let this happen for 2-5 minutes, depending on your love for char. Then go ahead and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula and let the Brussels cook the rest of the way through, about 3-5 more minutes. Add a squeeze of lemon or sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
4. Serve. (use this same cooking method in cream with different veggie and spices/herb!)
