Harvest Brussels Sprouts

 

4 cups brussels sprouts, tough outer leaves removed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

freshly grated nutmeg, to taste

salt and freshly-ground black pepper

1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts or walnuts (optional)

 

Cut an X in the bottom of each sprout.

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add sprouts and

return water to a boil. Boil sprouts for 7 to 10 minutes, until tender

but still bright green. Drain.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter. Add sprouts and

saute, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Add freshly grated nutmeg, salt,

and pepper to taste. Top with nuts, if desired. Serve hot.

Serves 6 to 8.
