Brussels sprouts or mini cabbage..

Brussels sprout are delicious way to fortify on your supply vitamins and minerals and almost zero calories. This mini vegetable is an excellent source of vitamins A and C phosphors and potassium.  This is a very versatile vegetable.   It accompanies fish, poultry or meat equally fine.  This season my garden has  a full array of fruits and vegetables of which includes Brussels sprouts. 

I usually like to steam Brussels sprouts.   First wash them and then cut them in half.  Then put about half an inch of water in a steamer.  Put the them in top part of the pot and stem until they are bright green.   Remove them from the pot and put them in a large bowl. Add salt pepper and a few chili flakes, then pour half a cup olive oil and toss them together.   As you serve them squeeze a few drops of lemon over each serving.  
Break out the crusty bread and bottle of wine, color of your choice and enjoy.
