Brussel Sprouts are easy to cook:

Brussel Sprouts are easy to cook if you quarter them first. Cut off the bottoms if you wish, remove outer leaves or clean them any way you like, then cut them parallel to the stem into quarters. Now they will cook quickly, about five minutes in a small amount of boiling water. For example:

• A dozen Brussel Sprouts, quartered.


• One or two limes


• One Tablespoon of any sort of Hoisin sauce (or faux Hoisin sauce, that's what I use)

Cook the sprouts, drain them, put them in a bowl and squeeze the lime juice over them. Then add about a tablespoon of the Hoisin sauce.
