Brussels Sprouts

As the weather starts cooling, we often find ourselves in the kitchen looking for something warm and comforting.  Brussels sprouts??? I know you may have experienced these as overcooked, bitter and boring, but with the right technique you may rethink this commonly overlooked vegetable.

 

You’ll need about half a kilo of Brussels sprouts, washed and halved.  1-2 cloves of garlic and some olive oil.  Heat a heavy based fry pan; add the olive oil to coat the pan.  Add the Brussels sprouts and crushed garlic and cook for a few minutes until just tender.  Remove from the heat and serve straight from the pan with some freshly cracked pepper.
