Brussel sprouts are a flavorful and healthy vegetable. However, most methods of cooking them can yield a bitter taste. This method shortens the cook time and essentially eliminates the bitterness of the vegetable.
Ingredients
- Fresh Brussel Sprouts 5-6 per person (organic if possible)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
- Butter 3 pats (optional)
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Rinse and clean the sprouts.
- Remove the stem end from the sprout. Thinly slice the sprout against the grain. Repeat this for all the sprouts. You will end up with a bowl full of sliced sprouts that resembles slaw.
- Heat a medium skillet under medium to medium-high heat.
- Add 1 Tbls or so of EVOO and 2-3 pats of butter, if you want more flavor (and fat) to the dish.
- Add in the sliced sprouts and toss to coat. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook until tender (about 10 mins) but don’t overcook.
- Remove and serve immediately.
Variations:
- You can add all sorts of things to the sprouts. Flavored oils such as walnut or sesame seed, seasoned salt, minced garlic, etc. Browning diced bacon before adding the sliced sprouts also adds additional flavor.
