Buttered Brussels Sprouts Time: 25 minutes
12 - 16 Brussels sprouts - I normally serve 6 - 8 per person
1 tbs butter
1 tsp dried thyme
salt & pepper -seasoned pepper is good
Trim Brussels sprouts: slice a bit off of the stem end and peel away the outer leaves - any that are damaged, wilted or discolored. With the tip of your knife make a small X in the stem end - that, supposedly, aids even cooking. Put in a steamer basket over an inch of water and steam for 20 - 30 minutes or until done. They should be tender when pierced with a sharp knife but do not overcook. When done remove basket and empty water. Return pan to heat and melt butter. Add herbs, salt & pepper. Return sprouts to pan and sauté stirring for 1 - 2 minutes. Serve.
