Yummy Brussel Sprouts...Yes Yummy!

Brussel Sprouts generally aren't anyone's favorite vegtable. Even veggie lovers don't rave about the 'sprouts' they had last night. This recipe may change that!

I make the following recipe and we never have left overs, even my 3 year old loads up on them!

Brussel Sprouts
  •  1-2lbs brussel sprouts, dry/brown stem thinly sliced off
* Place brussel sprouts in steamer over boiling water and steam for 6-8 minutes,the sprouts should still be firm since they will be sautéed. No mushy sprouts here!
* Remove from heat rinse for 30 seconds under cold water
* Cut sprouts in half vertically. (through stem and top, not through middle)
  •  1-2 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
* Warm oil in pan on medium-high heat, when hot place flat side of sprout down in oil
*  After 5 minutes sprinkle with sea salt and turn over. Sprouts should be golden brown
* After another 4 minutes coat with pepper and more salt (if needed)

Enjoy!
