Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels Sprouts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-5 cloves garlic depending on how much you love garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg or to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated if possible
Instructions
-
Cut off the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves. If the sprouts are more than an inch in diameter, cut them in quarters lengthwise. If the sprouts are smaller, cut them in half.
-
Boil 2 quarts of water, add salt and sprouts. Boil uncovered for about 5 minutes. You want to keep the sprouts on the crunchy side. Drain sprouts, discard cooking water and dry the pot.
-
Heat olive oil in the pot, add garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute for 1 minute. Add sprouts and nutmeg. Saute for 1 more minute. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss with the sprouts until the cheese slightly melts. Enjoy!!
