BRUSSEL SPROUTS WITH DIJON MUSTARD

It's funny that you can hate a food so much as a child but can learn to love it as an adult. Throughout the Winter months I can't eat enough brussel sprouts. I usually roast them with garlic and oil but recently I tried something a little different. By simply mixing semi-tender sprouts with a little butter and mustard you can add a luxurious twist to a Winter staple.

Ingredients:
1 pound brussel sprouts
2 tbl unsalted butter
1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Cut brussel sprouts in half and discard wilted outer leaves.
2. Place sprouts in a covered pan with about 1/4 cup of water.
3. Steam on medium heat for about 5-8 minutes.
4. Drain excess water from pan.
5. Add butter, mustard and seasonings. 
6. Saute until all ingredients have blended and sprouts are golden in color.
