2. Remove the outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts and rinse the florets briefly under water. Hold on to the stalk and cut into slices that are not too thick with a kitchen slicer. Finely dice the onions and garlic. Core the chilli pepper, if desired (it also tastes very good without it) and also finely dice it.
