Brussels Sprouts In Beer (Rosenkohl in Bier Gedunstet)

Brussels sprouts mellowed in a good beer or ale will be popular even with people who normally turn their noses up at the cabbage-like vegetable.  This is a German Christmas recipe, but we like it at Thanksgiving, too.  A holiday is a holiday.

• 1 pound brussels sprouts
• Beer to cover, about 1 - 2 pints
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter

METHOD

Trim and wash sprouts. Place in a medium-size saucepan and pour enough beer over them to cover.

Bring to a boil. As soon as beer begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer gently, covered, for 20 minutes or until fork tender. Add more beer if liquid evaporates.

Drain add salt and butter.

Serves: 6 - 8 as side dish
