Ingredients

4 cups brussels sprouts trimmed and halved, about 12-ounce bag
2 large shallots cut in ¼ inch moon slices
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
¾ cup Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine
½ cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the oil and butter. Once the butter is melted add the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes before adding the garlic. Cook the garlic and shallots together for 1 minute, stirring frequently so the shallots do not burn.
Add the sprouts to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until they start to brown slightly. Deglaze the pan with ½ cup marsala wine, stirring frequently. Cook for 10 minutes until wine is reduced. When sprouts are browned and somewhat soft add remaining ¼ cup marsala, heavy cream and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Stir to combine.
Remove the pan from the heat and place in the oven. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes until the sauce is reduced and the brussel sprouts have crisped up. Enjoy right away!

Notes

If reheating later, reheat on the stove top with a splash of heavy cream.
