In this recipe, Brussels sprouts are braised in a pressure cooker with a tangy-sweet combination of Dijon mustard and maple syrup. There are lots of advantages to pressure-cooking the sprouts: For one, they cook in just three minutes once the pot has reached pressure. The pressurized heat also helps the sprouts hold their shape and texture, so there’s no risk of them getting mushy. Finally, the tightly sealed pressure-cooking environment concentrates the flavors, creating a rich, super-fast sauce. Although the dish is designed to be a side, you could also serve it as an entrée by ladling it over grains and sprinkling it with chopped nuts.
Ingredients
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup unsalted vegetable stock
- 1½ tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
- 3 cups halved or quartered Brussels sprouts
- ½ tablespoon pure maple syrup
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Set an electric pressure cooker to sauté or heat a stovetop pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring and adding 2 to 3 tablespoons of water as needed to prevent sticking.
- Whisk the stock and mustard in a small bowl; add the mustard mixture to the pressure cooker. Stir in the Brussels sprouts and maple syrup.
- Lock the lid on the pressure cooker. Bring to high pressure for 3 minutes. Quick release the pressure. Remove the lid carefully, tilting away from you. Season with salt and pepper.

(4 from 5 votes)Maybe the best question would be : " of the tips and tricks in the article, which one would be BEST for this recipe?"
We have done this recipe several times . It is very tasty, fast abs easy to do it .
I followed this recipe to a t, and it came out horrible - brussels were horrifyingly overcooked. I'd understand if I did something differently or had a different appliance, but this... Just another failed fok recipe.
WITHOUT resending the same 'article for tips & tricks' -- can someone kindly submit a way to cook the brussels sprouts using this same recipe, 'Brussels Sprouts with Maple-Mustard Sauce,' without a pressure cooker?
My favorite way to prepare brussels sprouts is to cut them in half and then "chiffonade" them: slice them super thin starting at the end and working toward the stem. Then mix your seasonings, toss them in it, and you basically just chase them around the pan until they cook to the color you like them! I like mine just passing the bright green stage. No more overcooked soggy BS's :)
Ooops, edit to say - saute your onions first, then add everything else
no no no, enjoy the halved brussel sprouts with out the sugar, even if it is natural it is un needed
Made this as part of Christmas dinner, and it was perfect! Such an easy, delicious recipe! You’ve given me another reason to love my Instant Pot.
It would be helpful if the recipe author responded to the questions, especially since people are looking for a method that doesn't require a pressure cooker. I'm included in that group!
