Quick Braised Brusssels Sprouts

July 11, 2010 – 6:30 pm

Tonight we had some bratwursts and brussels sprouts. I usually roast them, but after trying baby turnips cooked this way, I wanted to try it with brussels sprouts too, and it turned out quite nicely.

Quick Braised Brussels Sprouts
Serves 2

1 lb brussels sprouts, trimmed and outer dark leaves removed
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup water
kosher salt and black pepper

Halve the brussels sprouts longitudinally and place them cut side down in a large skillet. Cut the butter in little pieces and toss on top of the veggies. Season with the salt and pepper to taste. Pour the water in the skillet and cover. Turn the heat on to medium high and cook 6-8 minutes, or until the sprouts are a bright green and fork tender. Uncover and cook for another 2-3 minutes to boil off the remaining water and brown the sprouts in the butter. Serve warm.
