Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 5

1½ lbs (750 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed
¼ cup (50 mL) butter
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
¼ cup (50 mL) chopped almonds, unblanched
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook Brussels sprouts for 5 to 8 minutes or until almost tender. Refresh under cold water and drain well. Let cool slightly. Cut sprouts in half and place cut-side down on a paper-towel-lined tray to drain. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before next step. 2. Melt butter over medium-low heat in a large skillet until it is just starting to turn golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Stir in lemon juice and almonds and cook until butter is browned. Add Brussels sprouts and toss to coat well and heat through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a warmed serving dish.
