– Hi, I’m Jacques Pepin and I’m cooking at home. (laid back music) I love Brussels sprouts, always for Thanksgiving, whatever, but I like it just sauteed like that, very briefly, and very often I do that with bacon. And so you start with a couple of tablespoons of good olive oil.
I have sausage here, as you can see, two sausage, and those are, I like the spicy one, you know? But, so you can make little balls or leave it just in pieces like this, as I’m doing. I’m gonna cook that first. Gonna take a couple of minutes. I have a pound of Brussels sprouts here, and I’m gonna put a can of beans at the end. And always the Brussels sprouts, I trim the end of it like this, you know? If there is any damaged one. Those happen to be beautiful and all that.
And I slice them by hand this way, as I’ve done here, but it’s pretty hard. So if you happen to have a, if you happen to have a slicer like this, I use that. And this is, see a slicer, there is two sides, one is thicker and the other one is thinner.
I do the thicker part. That goes right in there and right on top of it here, and that’s it. I can put my thing right in there. And this is it. So it’s a cinch. See here, so here, I have my sausage cooking here, nice and brown. They start rendering some fat. And as you can see here, they are cut very nicely, very equally. Okay, it’s basically cooked. And now I can add the rest of this. I have a pound of a Brussels sprouts here, so that would be for six people, that would do that. Salt on top of it.
Of course, I can always re-season it at the end. I’m gonna cover it, get it steamed a little bit. After two, three minutes, how you say, starting browning but I think I need some moisture. So as long as I have those beans here. I’m gonna use those beans later on. So I may as well add that liquid in there now
To cook it. Couple of minutes more. This way. I think a couple of minute. Mm. A bit crunchy. But still, I like it this way. So the beans, the beans in there too. And this is about it. Just warm it up, and so you can do that ahead, warm it up at the last moment. Beautiful fricassee, or a medley of Brussels sprout, sausage, and beans. Happy cooking.

I make this regularly. Probably one of my favorite dishes as a side or even a main course that I make.
great idea – really looks good
Where's his daughter?
Pickled Brussels are my choice.
👍
My favorite cook on youtube. I've made a least 30 of his dishes all amazing.
alright hear me out – a bit of spicy mustard on a piece of crusty toast with this on top. Bangin.
No reason to eat boring at home. Look into your fridge or pantry.And use a little Jaques to inspire you.
👍
Now that is a simple, tasty combo. Brussel Sprouts are some of my favorite things.
Prepare For Ludicrous Farts
Looks delicious! Merci, Chef!
Wonderful. Can also be done with finely shredded cabbage. Lots of black pepper. Supreme side dish with any meat.
I will be making this very soon.
I love the spirit of the Cooking at Home series. They're simple, quick, thrifty, wholesome recipes that even novice cooks or people of limited dexterity (as Pepin himself now is) can succeed with. This nutritious meal likely cost around $5 to make and looks like it will comfortably feed four. This is why Pepin will always be my favorite celebrity chef: he knows that most of his viewers are experimenting every day with what they already have in their fridges and pantries, trying to stretch their budget, avoid waste, and make nutritious meals that are still a pleasure to cook and eat. The people who are eating lobster bisque and chateaubriand every day aren't watching his shows, and he's not making his content for them.
I LOVE these videos!
I really need to dip into simpler cooking for the motivation. <3 Going to have to make this soon.
Wow, I love this. It's one of those "why didn't I think of that" things. Simple fast delicious, and it's what's for dinner tomorrow night.
Let me tell you something :if this guy makes a video about boilung a cup of water, i'll still watch it!
I use this dish to power cleanse my colon every month or so. Eat a big plate of this and then drink a pint of Mylanta with a couple of raw eggs. The experience is one of spiritual enlightenment.
He has aged with so much dignity. I hope I can do the same.
I'm always on the prowl for a new brussels sprouts recipe and this one looks like it is going into my book for later. I can't wait to try it. Thank you!
Always appreciate your expertise.
Aside from being an extraordinary chef, Mr. Pepin is an extraordinary human being.
dont stop making these
So simple and so good looking. Thank you
Three ingredients. Genius!
Simple is good:) Take it to another level with some egg noodles or bacon or even some diced potatoes or all of them. Love how I can build on this to make my own cook to my families like:) Thank you
I'm thinking that maybe you could use cabbage if you can't get a hold of Brussels Sprouts… 🤔
I love Brussels sprouts, can't imagine eating only 1/6 lb of them. Sounds like a great recipe
Looks like a good way to go. Probably go with less sausage and add fresh sage leaves
Brussels, beans and sausage together! I’m gonna have to sleep with a gas mask.
👍🤓😋
How about that. We were just talking about a new way of cooking Brussel sprouts. Ask and ye shall receive. Gonna try this one.
Cooking does not get any easier than this. Plenty of Flavor, utilizes "waste" (the bean juice!), easily customizable. Thank you, Chef! We Love you!❤🌎
I have 1lb of ground pork in the freezer. I just found a purpose for it.
Just tried this. Fantastic.

I love brussel sprouts and I can mouth-watering cook it. But I'm also vegetarian, so I'll have to pass on this one
Thank you!
