STEAMED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Remove and discard any loose or discolored leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Trim the stems flush with the bottom of the sprouts and cut each sprout in half.
• Pour about an inch of water into a skillet or wok and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Put the Brussels sprouts in a steamer basket and season with salt. Set the steamer basket over the boiling water and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the Brussels sprouts. Transfer the sprouts to a plate, sprinkle with black pepper and serve.
