Steamed Brussels Sprouts With Browned Butter And Lemon Zest

Recipe Ingredients

1		Brussels sprouts - outer leaves
		Removed, bottoms trimmed, halved
1/2		Butter
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1		Lemon - grated for rind,
		Then halved

Recipe Instructions

In a medium cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid, set a steamer basket over 1 1/2 inches water. Add Brussels sprouts, and steam over high heat until tender, about 10 minutes.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salt and cook, watching carefully, until butter sizzles, browns slightly, and gives off a nutty aroma. Squeeze juice from lemon halves into the pan and add the zest. Stir in Brussels sprouts; cook, shaking pan occasionally, until warmed through.

Description:

"Nutty and delicate if not overcooked -- but as odiferous as cabbage if mistreated -- Brussels sprouts can be truly delicious even without bacon or cream."
