This is such an easy recipe and it does dress up the sprouts - the chestnuts stay crunchy. I sometimes add a few button mushrooms too. Ingredients:
1 lb brussels sprout, small, trimmed, and an x cut into the bottom stem |
2 cups chicken broth |
1 (10 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/8 teaspoon sugar or 1/8 teaspoon splenda sugar substitute |
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme, dried |
salt and pepper |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional) |
Directions:
1. Bring broth to a boil, add sprouts and simmer uncovered for 7 minutes, or a bit longer depending on the size, they should be fork tender, drain well.
2. Add butter,sugar, thyme, chestnuts salt& Pepper to the sprouts.
3. Saute until the sprouts/ chestnuts are hot and glazed.
4. Squeeze or sprinkle the fresh lemon juice over them.
