×INGREDIENTS
-
0 1/4 lb Brussels Sprouts
-
0 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Stick
-
0 1/2 tsp Salt
-
1 fruit without seeds Lemons (with Peel)
DIRECTIONS
- In a medium cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid, set a steamer basket over 1 1/2 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.
- Zest the entire lemon (about 1 tablespoon) then squeeze juice from lemon halves into the pan and add the zest.
- Stir in Brussels sprouts; cook, shaking pan occasionally, until warmed through.
