Recipe: Spend With Pennies
Brussel sprouts will retain their shape even if they are cut into quarters, wedges or coins due to their tightly packed leaves. For this recipe I cut them into halves from top to bottom (or thirds if they happen to be large).
How to Clean Brussel Sprouts: A simple rinse off of the outside to remove any surface dirt will do. Remove any leaves that are bruised, discolored or torn. Pat dry with a paper towel and store in the fridge until ready to use.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussel sprouts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese
Directions:
- Slice brussel sprouts in half from top to bottom (or thirds if large).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high. Add brussel sprouts, salt and pepper.
- Cook sprouts 6-8 minutes or until tender crisp, stirring occasionally. (Don’t stir too much, you want them to brown and caramelize on each side).
- Remove from heat, toss with butter and parmesan cheese if using.
- Season with salt and pepper if needed and serve.
