Yield: Makes 4 side-dish servings
See Cooking Videos
Ingredients:
1
pound fresh Brussels sprouts

1/2
cup condensed beef broth or 1/2 cup water plus 2 teaspoons instant beef bouillon granules

1
tablespoon butter or margarine, softened

1/4
cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Paprika



Preparation:
1.
Trim stems from Brussels sprouts and pull off outer discolored leaves.

2.
Use large enough saucepan to allow sprouts to fit in single layer. Place sprouts in saucepan; add broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover; simmer about 5 minutes or just until sprouts turn bright green and are crisp-tender.

3.
Uncover; simmer until liquid is almost evaporated. Toss cooked sprouts with butter and cheese. Sprinkle with paprika to taste. Garnish as desired.


Tip: For faster, more even cooking, cut an "X" deep into the stem end of each Brussels sprout.
