Buttered Lemon Brussels Sprouts

Buttered Lemon Brussels Sprouts

I love Brussels Sprouts. Even loved them when I was a kid. They always looked so cute- like little baby versions of a cabbage. I like simple preparations so I often just steam them and toss with butter and a little salt. I also enjoy them roasted with onions and garlic. I picked up some really beautiful Brussels sprouts at the local market and decided to cook them up with a little citrus, too. I washed them and trimmed off the bottom of their stems. Then I steamed them until they were just tender- about 5 minutes. I placed some butter in a skillet and added the sprouts along with a zest of lemon and some celery seed and sea salt. I cooked them over medium heat until the sprouts just started to get a little brown. They were wonderful. Simple and really tasty. Sometimes, with veggies, simple is the best. I loved them cooked this way. Now what to do with that cauliflower…..
