Steps:
- Place butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a heavy bowl, with lemon zest and juice, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper. Beat until well combined. Transfer herbed butter to a piece of parchment or wax paper, and roll into a cylinder, twisting both ends to secure. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.
- Place a saucepan with steamer insert and 1 1/2 inches water over medium-high heat. Trim sprouts of outer leaves, and cut a small X in each base with a paring knife. When water in steamer is boiling, add sprouts and lemon quarters. Cook until sprouts are tender and bright green, tossing occasionally, about 10 minutes.
- When sprouts are done, discard lemon, and transfer to serving bowl. Cut disks of herbed butter, and toss with sprouts. Serve sprinkled with fresh dill.
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Brussels Sprouts: Select firm, tightly packed Brussels sprouts with vibrant green leaves. Avoid any sprouts with yellow or wilted leaves, as these indicate old age.
- Trim and Prepare: Trim the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any outer leaves that may be damaged or discolored. If the sprouts are large, cut them in half or quarters for even cooking.
- Wash Thoroughly: Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Drain well.
- Steaming Technique: Use a steamer basket or colander placed over a pot of boiling water. Make sure the Brussels sprouts are not touching the water, as this can lead to overcooking and mushiness. Cover the pot and steam the sprouts for 8-10 minutes, or until tender but still slightly firm.
- Lemony Brown Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter starts to foam, add the lemon zest and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. The butter should turn a light brown color and have a nutty aroma.
- Seasoning: Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, season them with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes or garlic powder for an extra kick.
Conclusion:
Steamed Brussels sprouts with lemony brown butter is a simple yet delicious side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. The steaming method preserves the nutrients and vibrant green color of the Brussels sprouts, while the lemony brown butter adds a rich, nutty flavor. Follow these tips to ensure perfect results every time: choose fresh Brussels sprouts, trim and prepare them properly, steam them to perfection, and finish with a flavorful lemony brown butter sauce. Enjoy this healthy and tasty dish as a nutritious addition to your meals.
