Servings: 2

 

Ingredients:

250g whole brussel sprouts

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 cups water

1 tablespoon salted butter

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon bacon bits

salt and pepper to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon each)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Equipment:

sauce pan

stove

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Wash 250g of brussel sprouts. Remove any old hard out leaves. Bring 4 cups of water to the boil and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the brussel sprouts to the boiling water and leave to boil at medium heat for 4 minutes or until sprouts are tender but still crunchy. Drain the brussel sprouts. Return the saucepan to the hot stove and add 1 tablespoon of butter. While the butter is melting, cut the brussel sprouts in half. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the melted butter. Saut for a few seconds till garlic is fragrant but not brown. Return the cut brussel sprouts to the saucepan. Toss the brussel sprouts lightly in the garlic-butter sauce. Add 1 tablespoon of bacon bits. I keep a jar of ready to use bacon bits in the fridge at all times for this dish (and for my Mushroom Delight dish). You can also use freshly pan fried and crumbled bacon, but I like to cook this fast. Season to taste with salt and pepper. I always use Masterfoods Garlic Pepper to season my dishes. A few shakes of this and its done. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about 1 teaspoon). Toss everything together. Serve with some fresh lemons on the side for extra tangy flavour, if preferred. You can also garnish with some toasted almond flakes.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
