Instead of grating lemon rind, we used a citrus zester for slender strands of zest. Remember to remove the zest from lemons before squeezing them for fresh juice. Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds fresh brussels sprouts |
2 tablespoons butter or margarine |
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice |
1/2 cup water |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons lemon zest |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Wash brussels sprouts; remove discolored leaves. Trim ends, and cut sprouts in half lengthwise; set aside.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet; add lemon juice, water, brown sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil. Add brussels sprouts; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until sprouts are tender. Uncover, increase heat to high, and cook 4 minutes or until most of liquid evaporates. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest and freshly ground pepper.
