Trim the stem end of each sprout and discard any brown or rotting leaves. Cut the sprouts into quarters and set aside. Carefully clean the leek and slice it discarding the stringy, green part.
Ask a question about this stepIn a cocotte, or a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, the leek, and the shallot, cumin and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are nicely browned in spots, about 5 minutes or so.
