VEGAN CHOUX DE BRUXELLES ÉTUVÉES AU BEURRE

[Brussels Sprouts Braised in Butter]


...begin by smearing the Earth Balance inside the casserole...

...arrange your Brussels Sprouts in a single layer - heads up - mine didn't really want to stand up all that well...

...pour over the melted butter...

...sprinkle with salt and pepper...

...Julia says to cover with a round of buttered waxed paper - but I always use parchment...

...put the lid on and set on top of the stove until it starts to sizzle...then pop it into the oven for 20 minutes (one of Julia's lesser cook times for vegetables - I was surprised)...

...until the sprouts are tender and impregnated with butter (Earth Balance)...

...they smell lovely and are still a nice bright green...be sure to come back tomorrow and see what we served these little lovelies with...
