Brussel Sprouts in a Lemon-Dill Butter Sauce

Brussel sprouts may not be on the top of the list for people's favorite vegetables, but when properly cooked rather than served overcooked, they have a delicious delicate flavor. This recipe is tasty and sure to please even those who don't typically like Brussel sprouts!

Brussel Sprouts in a Lemon-Dill Butter Sauce

1 pound Brussel sprouts, halved with the ends removed
1 teaspoon fresh dill
Juice of 1/2 lemon
zest of 1/4 lemon
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
salt
1/4 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped

In a large frying pan, combine sprouts and onions in olive oil. Top with salt. Stir and cover. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes over medium heat.

Then, add the chopped garlic to sprouts, and allow to cook uncovered.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, over low heat, add butter, zest, and lemon juice. After the butter melts, stir in dill.

Then, top sprouts with the butter-dill sauce. Stir, serve, and enjoy!

Serves approximately 4.
