My best dish...

So, some people don't like brussel sprouts. If they don't, I'm pretty sure it's because they haven't tasted my recipe. It's the bomb dot biz IMHO. I want to convince the non-believers that brussel sprouts can be delicious if you prepare them well. Ironically, I learned it from my little brother, Justin. I'm pretty sure this is his "impress girlfriend" dish! Also, just to put it out there-- I don't usually cook. I'm busy and I usually find it cheaper and more convenient to get takeout! This is my exception to the rule. Easy peasy. Also, I don't like to measure things...as you will see by my lack of formal measurements below...

Ingredients:

-Bag of brussel sprouts 

-Two to three tablespoons olive oil 

-Two cloves garlic, diced 

-Squeeze of lemon, to taste 

-Parmesan, as much as you like! 

-Sea salt and pepper, to taste 

I actually eat this as a meal on its' own, it's so hearty and delicious. 

Let's do this:

• Cut off the stems of the sprouts and dice the Brussel sprouts into halves. 
• Place skillet on stove at medium low heat, heat up olive oil. 
• Place sprouts in skillet with lid on top, with air to "breathe" for about ten minutes, flat side of sprout face down on pan. 
• Let cook / steam slowly for between 6-10 minutes or until tender. 
• Add garlic and mix throughout. 
• Squeeze lemon, add sea salt, pepper, and Parmesan, to taste. 
• Turn up heat to medium-high, in order to gain the charred flat side of the sprouts. 
• Cook until fork easily pierces through and sprouts have your preference of char! 

Nom nom nom. You're welcome. A healthy and filling meal. Pair it with Chardonnay and we can be twinsies!
