arcamax
List of Ingredients
4 quarts boiling salted water
About 1-1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed of scarred leaves and tough bases
3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium to large onion, chopped into 1/4-inch dice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 big cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup water
12 fresh basil leaves, torn
1/16 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
2 generous tablespoons butter
Recipe
Have the water at a hard boil. Drop in sprouts and boil, uncovered 4 minutes, or until tender, but still somewhat firm. Drain immediately in a colander. Rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, generous salt and pepper and cook until soft and beginning to color. Stir in the garlic and water. Cover, boil 2 minutes, uncover and cook off most excess liquid.
Stir in sprouts, cook over medium-high to heat through. At the last minute, stir in basil, butter and nutmeg. Once butter is just melted, serve them up.
