"One of my all time favorite side dishes. It is a great side along roast chicken, grilled steak, pork chops, or a grilled or roast tenderloin. It's rich and creamy; and, basically '2 dishes' in one, (potatoes and vegetables). This obviously, can be made right on the stove top; but, I love to make it on my grill in my cast iron pan. Perfect as I grill a couple of steaks along side it."

Step 1

Vegetables ... Prepare the brussels sprouts, by peeling the outer leaves, trimming the end of the stem, and cutting in half; leaving the the stem in tact, so they do not fall apart. Also prepare the potatoes, mushrooms, and scallions.

Step 2

Saute ... Melt the butter in a large saute pan on medium heat; add the potatoes and brussels sprouts, and saute for just a minute to coat with the butter.

Step 3

Add the garlic, and stir another minute to combine with the potatoes and brussels sprouts. Then, the broth and thyme sprigs, and simmer on medium low heat for 4-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook another 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are almost tender. They will continue to cook another 3-4 minutes with the heavy cream, so you want them almost done. This can vary depending on the size of your vegetables. This is an average cooking time.

Step 4

At this point, most of the broth should be reduced, which is what you want. Turn up the heat between medium low and medium (you don't want it to boil); add the cream, nutmeg, and season generously with salt and pepper. The cream will naturally thicken as it simmers, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the scallions, and toss to combine.

Step 5

Garnish and Serve ... Transfer to a serving bowl with any remaining sauce, and garnish with parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, and parsley. It is absolutely delicious; and, full of flavor. Give it one last toss, before taking to your dinner table. ENJOY!
