Butter Pecan Brussle Sprouts

 

I know brussle sprouts are one of those things that people either hate or love, and I happen to be in the big time love camp - especially when they are smothered with butter and pecans!

 

 

Ingredients

yields one hearty serving

 

2 big handfulls of brussle sprouts, trimmed

1/2 cup pecans, rough chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp of butter

salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions

1. I'm sorry I have no idea how to quantify how many sprouts I used. 2 hearty handfulls sounds about right. Anyway. Just trim the knobby ends off the sprouts and discard any wilty leaves on the outside. Slice in half.

2. Steam the sprouts for 5 minutes.

3. Add olive oil to a medium sized frying pan on medium heat.

4. Add brussle sprouts, half the butter, the pecans, salt and pepper to pan. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Once the sprouts appear to be cooked through, and have a slightly caramel outside, they are done. Add the remaining butter and toss around in pan.
