Brussels Sprouts In Butter & Lemon
These Brussels Sprouts are so much better than what I grew up on. I have always been a fan of Brussels Sprouts, but the sauté and butter & lemon at the end make this vegetable dish sing!
INGREDIENTS
1 Pound Fresh Brussels Sprouts
6 Tablespoons Butter
¼ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
¼ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
½ Lemon
Remove any ragged outer leaves on the Brussels sprouts and throw away. Steam the sprouts for 3 minutes until just tender. They should be nearly cooked all the way through. Do NOT overcook. Strain the hot water and place the sprouts in a bowl of ice water. Cut the sprouts into halves. In a large sauté pan over a medium heat add the 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the sprouts, salt and pepper and stir. Increase the heat a bit and cook for 2 more minutes. Make sure not to overcook or the Brussels Sprouts may become bitter. Turn the heat to low and add the rest of the butter. After 30 seconds turn off the heat. Stir in the melted butter. Squeeze half of the lemon over the sprouts and give a quick stir. Remove from the pan and place in a serving dish. Serves 6
