List of Ingredients

2 1/2 lb Brussels sprouts
1 T olive oil
1 t cumin seeds
3 T basil
2 T butter
salt and pepper




Recipe

Trim and discard stem ends from brussel sprouts; rinse sprouts.
Cut each in half, through stem end. Add olive oil, Brussels
sprouts, and cumin seeds to a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat;
stir often until sprouts are slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add 1 cup water (and the basil if using dried); cover, reduce
heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until
sprouts are tender when pierced, 6 to 8 minutes. If liquid
evaporates before sprouts are tender, add a little more water to
prevent scorching. Uncover and add butter; stir often until
butter is melted. Stir in fresh basil, if using, and salt and
pepper to taste. Pour into a serving bowl. Makes 10 servings.
