"Try it You'll Like it" Brussel Sprouts

I grew up thinking I didn't like beets or broccoli. As an adult I discovered I love them both thanks to my husband who makes me try everything at least once. Brussel sprouts have a bad reputation too. Some people think they smell bad cooking, but I sure don't. Plus, they are packed with nutrients and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:
Brussel sprouts
Butter
Salt

Directions:
Cut off the brownish white bottom of brussel sprout and peel away tough outer leaf. Cut the brussel sprout in half vertically. Boil water and steam sprouts until easily pierced with a fork. Coat saute pan with butter and just before it browns add the brussel sprouts. Allow brussel sprouts to brown slightly, but do not burn. Remove from heat and top with your favorite coarse salt.

Note: You can also roast or boil brussel sprouts. Some recipes mix in garlic or carrots or grated lemon rind. Find a preparation and combination you like and help the brussel sprout overcome its reputation!
