Bruksel Lahana~Brussel Sprouts


Last week I went to my local market to pick up some vegetables. There I was admiring the green brussel sprouts. They were so green and firm. I thought to myself I have to do something with these little guys. Just then another shopper came up to me and told me how her family likes to eat them. So I gave it a try and they were delicious. I changed the recipe a bit by adding some lemon~salt available at Istanbul Market. Your family will welcome them on your dining table.

Recipe

10-15 sml. brussel sprouts
4 tbsp bread crumbs
1 tsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon~salt
pepper
pinch of salt
water


Wash and prepare sprouts. Then place in a shallow pan. Add your water half way up the side of the sprout. (do not fully submerge) Simmer on medium heat until they start to change color. Drain water and add oil and butter to sprouts. Add spice and saute' turning occasionally. When the butter starts to become sticky add your breadcrumbs to the top of each sprout. Roll it around in the pan and let it full coat. Serve warm. Afiyet Olsun!
