Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. If you can, get your brussels sprouts from a store that sells them loose in bins; pick out the smaller, tight sprouts.
  2. To cook them, clean and trim the sprouts, removing the bottom stem and tougher outside leaves (very important!).
  3. You've already cut the bottom of the stalk off: now cut an X into the bottom of each sprout (about an 1/8 of an inch deep).
  4. Steam the sprouts for about 20 minutes, until they are soft (everybody prefers theirs in their own way, but I cannot stand crunchy brussels sprouts).
  5. While the sprouts are steaming, sauté the minced garlic in a little bit of butter for about 3 minutes, then combine them into the rest of the melted butter.
  6. When spouts are done cooking place them in a serving dish, pour the melted garlic butter over the sprouts, season lightly with salt and pepper, and serve.
