MEDITERRANEAN BRUSSEL SPROUTS

Cooking whole Brussels sprouts takes a long time and can produce a strong smell. Cutting them into quarters and steaming them helps to make them sweeter with no odor. The easy Mediterranean Dressing enhances their flavor.

Ingredients:

* 1 lb Brussels sprouts

Mediterranean Dressing
* 3 TBS extra virgin olive oil
* 2 tsp lemon juice
* 2 medium cloves garlic
* Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Fill the bottom of the steamer with 2 inches of water.
2. While steam is building up in steamer, cut Brussels sprouts into quarters and let sit for at least 5 minutes to bring out their hidden health benefits.
3. Chop or press garlic and let sit for at least 5 minutes.
4. Steam Brussels sprouts for 5 minutes.
5. Transfer to a bowl. For more flavor, toss Brussels sprouts with the ingredients for the Mediterranean Dressing while they are still hot. (Mediterranean Dressing does not need to be made separately.)
