Brussels Sprouts, Steamed W/Browned Butter & Lemon Zest - ATKINS

Nutty and delicate if not overcooked—but as odiferous as cabbage if
mistreated—Brussels sprouts can be truly delicious even without bacon or
cream.

1. In a medium cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid, set a steamer basket
over 1 1/2' water. Add Brussels sprouts, and steam over high heat until
tender, about 10 minutes.

2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salt and cook,
watching carefully, until butter sizzles, browns slightly, and gives off a
nutty aroma. Squeeze juice from lemon halves into the pan and add the
zest. Stir in Brussels sprouts; cook, shaking pan occasionally, until
warmed through.
