Brussels Sprouts




Yesterday I shared on my Facebook page that I had not tried Brussels Sprouts -ever! However 2 weeks ago I decided to buy some and figure out how to prepare them. I asked on Instagram how you had tried them and got some great ideas. Then I decided to experiment with them. Here is the first of 2 recipes I've loved so far with them. Oh and just so you know I've eaten them almost every day of the week of the past 2 weeks, yes loved them that much!






INGREDIENTS:

10 Brussels Sprouts
1 Tsp of minced garlic
Garlic Salt to taste
Crushed Black Pepper to taste
Cooking Spray


PREPARATION:

1.- Chop off the stem of each sprout and take the first layer off. Cut in half and set aside.

2.- Spray a medium sized skillet with cooking spray and place on medium-high heat. After a minute add minced garlic and brussels sprouts, sauté for about 2 minutes.

3.- Add spices and stir it all as if you were stir-frying for 4 minutes, cover with a lid and place on low-medium heat for another 3 minutes.


Enjoy!


Fun fact about Brussels Sprouts is the have the same chemical as Broccoli to help boost DNA repair and block growth of cancer cells. Also high in vitamin K!
