Buttered Brussels Sprouts

 

Farmer’s Market

 

2   pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and prepared

4   tablespoons butter, softened

     Salt and fresh ground pepper

 

Rinse in clear cold water and drain.  Trim stem ends just a little or they will come apart during cooking.  Cut a shallow “x” in the base of the sprouts so they will cook more quickly.  Do not overcook!  Steam or cook in a small amount of water until crisp-tender.  Drain and toss to coat with softened butter.  Season to taste.
