So most people are suspect of brussel sprouts, for whatever reason. I believe that you haven't had them prepared correctly. If you like cabbage, then you should love brussel sprouts. I prefer them sauteed as opposed to boiled.
So cut the bottom of the brussel sprouts off, and rinse them off. Make sure you check the brussel sprouts leaves to ensure there are no worms between the leaves. Set the sprouts to the side so the water can continue to drain off.
Heat up a skillet on a medium to high heat. Add one tablespoon of olive oil. I also uses a tablespoon of whipped butter. The whipped butter gives it the rich taste.
Once the skillet is hot, place the brussel sprouts in the skillet.
Turn the brussel sprouts over after 5 minutes. You want to make sure that they do not burn. Once they are cooked on both sides, add the following.
1 tablespoon of sea salt
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of garlic salt
1 tablespoon of mixed or black pepper
Once both sides are cooked thoroughly, place a top over the skillet and let them continue cooking for another 15 minutes with out any additional heat. This makes them soft, and not soggy. Remove from heat and Enjoy!
