- 3 Tbsp Butter
- 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
- ½ cup Sour Cream Low-fat
- 1 tsp Cumin Crushed

Sauté the leeks in the butter until they are soft and begin to caramelize- about 10 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
Cut the bottom part of the Brussels sprouts and halve or quarter them.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the Brussels sprouts, cook for 5 minutes, drain.
Sauté the brussels sprouts in olive oil, salt, and pepper, until they begin to get a nice color- 5 to 7 minutes. Add the leeks, stir.
Mix the cumin into the sour cream, add to the pan. Add the garlic. Stir.
Stir in half a cup of the Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust the garlic/salt/pepper content. Cook for a couple more minutes.
Optional: sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top, and put the frying pan under the broiler to melt.
