    cut off a little bit of the cut end. steaming is best,
    but you can put them in a pan with about an inch of
    water, cover and cook on a medium heat for about 20-30
    min. til they are bright green. you can cook them til
    soft, but you lose a lot of nutrients. then slather
    with butter and go to it

    Thanks.

    The last time i had fresh brussels spouts was when my mom was alive that was
    about 20 years ago. And my family doesnt eat them just me. But i did buy
    some at Produce junction this week.
