Baking is science and I don't like formulas, but cooking is art and anything goes...and the simpler the better. It's all about less time at the stove and more time at the table. With a forty year passion for food I'm excited to share what I do in the kitchen nearly every day.

Brussel Sprouts with Lemon Breadcrumbs

 

Ten minutes is all this one takes...and it will soon be your new favorite way to cook Brussel sprouts. 

Set a non-stick pan over medium low heat.  Once hot, add a splash of extra virgin olive, the zest from half a lemon, and enough breadcrumbs to cover the bottom.  Toss frequently with a rubber spatula until toasted golden brown then transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Trim each Brussel sprout by removing any browning outer leaves as well as the very bottom of the stem...no more than a 1/16 of an inch, then slice them all in half.

Wipe the breadcrumb pan clean and place back on the heat with a little bit of olive oil.  Add the halved spouts to the hot pan along with some salt and pepper, toss, then cover with a tight-fitting lid. 

Let them cook for a couple of minutes, toss again, and cook for a minute or two more. When they’re barely fork tender, slide them onto a plate and top with the lemon breadcrumbs.
