Lemon-Steamed Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients:
2 cups Brussels Sprouts
1-2 Lemons, sliced horizontally thinly
1 tsp Black Pepper
4 cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
1 tsp Salt

Directions:

• Trim the dark bottoms off the Brussels Sprouts
• In the Steamer, place a layer of the Lemon slices, and sprinkle with the Black Pepper
• Add the Brussels Sprouts and Garlic, and liberally sprinkle the Salt.
• Steam until the Brussels Sprouts turn bright Green, and are fork-tender–about five minutes.

Serves 2-3.

NOTES: Overcooking the Brussels Sprouts turns them a nasty color green. They are still edible, just not as visually appealing. You can also add herbs on top of the Lemons as well, when steaming.
