Brussels Sprouts Recipe

[Guest guest]

As I've stated here before, I'm not a fan of Brussels sprouts but I received

this recipe today in a newsletter I to. If I were a fan, this looks

like a good way to prepare them. It supposedly converted the writer of the

newsletter who was also anti Brusels sprouts.

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb fresh brussels sprouts

4-6 Tbsp butter

1/2 onion, chopped

Salt and Pepper

1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh squeezed

1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds

 

DIRECTIONS:

Boil in water or steam brussels sprouts for 3-4 minutes

until just tender. Split one open to see if it has cooked

to the middle. Strain and place in a bowl of ice water

to keep the color bright green. Cut into halves. Saute

onions in 2-3 Tbsp of butter in a wide sauté pan until

the onions are translucent. Add the brussels sprout

halves and 2-3 Tbsp more of butter and cook on medium

high heat for several more minutes, until the sprouts

have reached your desired level of doneness. Add salt

and pepper to taste while the sprouts are cooking.

(Avoid overcooking to prevent bitterness.) Remove from

heat, toss in half of the toasted slivered almonds and

the lemon juice. Add salt and pepper if needed. Put

into serving dish and garnish with the rest of the

toasted almonds.
