Spruitjes / Brussels Sprout

This is one vegetable either you love it or hate it!.I love it and it should be cooked just enough to be crunchy. If you overcook, it tastes & smells awful. Its like a small cabbage. You need to remove quite a bit of its outer
leaves when you cook it. I will show you an easy way to make this vegetable.

If you want your children to eat any vegetables you need to start feeding them as young as 6 months old babies. Cook the vegetables(any) with a potato & puree it adding a tab.sp. of milk and try feedin them...that age they are ready to eat anything and very soon you will realise they love what you aren feeding them.

What a joy!

Ingredients:
250 gms. Brussels sprouts
Salt
a good knob of Butter
Few pinches of Nut meg powder
1/4 glass of water.

Method:

Remove the outer skin of the Brussels sprout add the water & salt and bring to boil.

Close pan with its lid and let it simmer on a low flame for 5 to 6 minutes.

Switch off the gas and after 10 minutes drain all the water & immediately add the knob of butter and the nutmeg powder and give it a good stir

Done!This is the only way I would like to have this vegetable.

Tips:
I usually drain the water after I have cooked this vegetable. But steaming this
vegetable is the best as this vegetable has cholesterol lowering benefit.
