Sauteed Brussel Sprouts w/ Lemon

So, have you ever tried Brussel Sprouts??  I had never tried them and only ever thought they were bitter and not good at all.  I guess I heard too many times as a kid, that brussel sprouts weren't good and how nobody likes them.

Well, I recently had company visiting and mentioned how I had never tried brussel sprouts and wanted to try them.  So, they decided to make them one night and they were WAY better than I ever thought, not to mention, I actually LIKED them.

Now getting my kids to like them, well that will continue to be a work in progress, but hey working on it.  Here is the recipe I had that night.

Sauteed Brussel Sprouts w/ Lemon

Ingredients:
2 pounds Brussel Sprouts, thinly sliced
3 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 tbsp. Lemon Juice
Parmesan Cheese for topping
Slivered or Crushed Walnuts, toasted

Directions:
-  Pre-heat a medium skillet over medium to medium-high heat.

-  Pour the olive oil and lemon juice in the pan and let the mixture get hot.

-  Add the thinly sliced Brussel Sprouts and cook until just tender.  DO NOT OVERCOOK!!!

-  Sprinkle them with the parmesan cheese and toasted walnuts just before serving.

-  To toast the walnuts, pre-heat a oven to 400 degrees and spread the walnuts on a baking sheet.  Bake the walnuts until they smell done (about 5-10 minutes or so).

-  Serves about 6 and ENJOY!
