Brussel Sprouts

Yum, the underrated, vegetable that gets a bad rap. My recipe will make you love these little morsels of healthfulness! These veggies are packed with nutrition, helps with digestion, lowers cholesterol and helps your thyroid function.There are many "bacon" recipe's out there for Brussel Sprouts, but i prefer the natural flavor, and keeping it simple.

What you will need:

Large Frying Pan
1 busshel of Brussel Sprouts
1/2 fresh lemon juice
1/2 onion diced
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
1/2 cup of water
1 table spoon of bread crumbs seasoned

Let's get Cooking:


After washing your sprouts, cut them in half. In a large frying pan, line with olive oil. Dice up your onions and throw them into the pan once it gets a little hot. Once the onions start to sizzle a bit, throw in your Brussel Sprouts. Stir. after about 3 minutes, add your water as well. Stir again and let simmer for about 5 more minutes. Do not cover these morsels of nutrition. They should be a bright green color when you serve them.
Add in your lemon juice (freshly squeezed) and Salt and Pepper. Once the leaves start to break off of the sprouts, they are just about done! Sprinkle in your breadcrumbs, stir and serve.

This is a great side dish paired with Fish, Steak, Chicken. It's packed with Fiber and Antioxidants that help prevent Cancer. I promise you will turn people on to these veggie delites!

Bon Appetito!
