They taste good, they're super rich in anti-oxidants, and an excellent source of Protein (10 Brussels = 6g of Protein). Being a Root Vegetable, Brussels Sprouts, absorb all the earths goodness so no wonder they come packed with Vitamin's A C, E, K, and a healthy amount of B-Complex. They're also a great source of minerals like Copper, Calcium, Potassium, Iron, Manganese and Phosphorus making them a must on any menu!
Recipe is easy to make and super Healthy for the Holidays:Line the bottom of a Sauce-Pot with Olive Oil;
Take about 3-6 Cloves of Garlic and Chop (I love Garlic so I roll with 6 cloves);
Add Chopped Garlic to warmed oil and brown the outside walls;
De-stem and Halve 1 bag of Brussels Sprouts (the outer leaves will naturally fall off, discard);
Add halved Brussels Sprouts to Browned Garlic and Simmering Olive Oil, Stir immediately and then sporadically;
After about 7-10 minutes the Brussels Sprouts should absorb most of the Olive Oil, this is when they begin to caramelize, make sure to pay close attention to them stirring so they do not burn;
Take 1 whole Lemon and Squeeze the Juice into the mixture, stir, and then let the Brussels Sprouts set in the juice;
Salt to taste;
If they are soft throughout but still have firm texture they are done;
If you want to add more lemon go for it!
In this recipe I decided to add Mushrooms!
Halve equal amount of mushrooms to Brussels Sprouts;
Add after Squeezing the 1st whole Lemon;
If you decided to add mushrooms to the recipe after 3-5 minutes add the Juice of 2nd Lemon stirring for a few minutes until mushrooms are tender!
Cook with Love and you will have Admires!
Health Benefits of Mushrooms:
Mushrooms have been used for thousands of years both as food and for medicinal purposes. They are often classified as a vegetable or a herb, but they are actually fungi. Mushrooms provide lean Proteins having zero Cholesterol, Fats and very low Carbohydrates. The Fiber and certain Enzymes in them help to fight Cholesterol levels and the high lean Protein content will help build lean Muscle.
Like Brussels Sprouts they are rich in Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Copper, and the Special Mineral Selenium. The best source of Selenium is found in Animal Protein which aids the growth of healthy Hair, Nails, Bone, and Teeth!
This is what I call Power House Food!
