Brussel Sprouts the Easy Way
Ready In: 25 mins
Serves: 6
Yields: 1/2 cup
Ingredients
- 3 cups Brussels sprouts (approximately)
- 3 garlic cloves, whole but crushed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Directions
- Prepare sprouts by slicing bottom of the stem area off slightly, and peeling outer layers off. Half or Quarter them, depending on size, then wash them off.
- Put sprouts into a sauce pan with a little water and cover, and steam them until ALMOST fork tender, approximately 6-7 minutes. They will continue cooking in later steps.
- You could also steam them in a steamer for 2-3 minutes, again until almost fork tender.
- Drain sprouts from the water, and put olive oil and crushed garlic cloves into pan with medium-high heat. Cook until garlic flavors the oil, but does not burn, approximately 5 minutes.
- Remove the garlic and discard (so it won't burn and add a bitter taste to the dish).
- Add the brussel sprouts to the garlic oil in the pan and cook until edges get very brown. They will almost look burned, but this is the color you want.
- At the end of cooking add slivered almonds and salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm.
