Brussels Sprouts Rounds

(from Ruth76801’s recipe box)

Prep time: 15 minutes
Serves 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 pints Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1/4 cup fresh herb leaves, such as
  • parsley or dill, or 1 teaspoon
  • dried herb, such as tarragon,
  • thyme, or oregano
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. With a sharp knife, trim the bottoms of the Brussels sprouts and peel off any discolored or yellowing outer leaves. Slice the sprouts crosswise about 1/4 inch thick, so that you end up with little disks.

  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and saute, stirring frequently, for about a minute to just get them hot.

  3. Add the broth, reduce the heat to low, and simmer covered until the sprouts are tender yet still crunchy, about 5 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile mince the fresh herb.

  5. Add the herb and butter, if using, to the sprouts and simmer a minute longer until the butter has melted and everyhing is hot. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
