How to Trim Brussels Sprouts

Before trimming, I recommend washing your Brussels sprouts to remove any dirt.
To Trim: Use a knife to cut off the tough stem end of each Brussels sprout. Then, remove any yellow or damaged leaves, and cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise, from tip to trimmed end.

INSTRUCTIONS

HERE ARE MY STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS WITH PHOTOS TO SHOW YOU EACH STEP

STEP 1 :

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat., When hot add cumin seeds and cook until they splutters.
Add garlic, chili and sauté for 1 min.

STEP 2 :

Add halved brussels sprouts and toss well. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until some edges get golden brown. Stir once or twice in between.

STEP 3 :

STEP 4 :

Add 1/4 cup or more water. Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes (until brussel sprouts are tender, don’t over cook)

STEP 5 :

Check for seasoning, Finally add a dash of lemon juice and chopped cilantro and toss well.

STEP 6 : Serving

Garnish with grated coconut and sesame seeds and serve it with your favorite meal.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

Use a Large Skillet. You need to arrange the brussel sprouts in a single layer, so the skillet has to be large enough to fit them. I use a 10-inch skillet.
Use Fresh Brussels Sprouts. This is the main ingredient, so make sure you buy fresh brussel sprouts. When they are discolored and old, they lose flavor and texture.
To store: Place cooked Brussels sprouts in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To Reheat: Gently rewarm leftovers in a large skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through. You can also microwave the Brussels sprouts on a microwave-safe plate until warm. Add fresh toppings as desired.
Serve these brussels sprouts as a side to any dish. I also serve them as an appetizer sometimes, paired with a dipping sauce. Leftovers can be chopped and added to breakfast omelettes, soups, stews, etc.
