A flavorful twist on Brussels sprouts, simmered in beer and enhanced with savory seasonings.
Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends and removing any yellowed leaves. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
Cut larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.
Place the Brussels sprouts in a saucepan and pour the beer over them until they are just covered.
Use a lager or pale ale for a balanced flavor.
Bring the beer to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the sprouts for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
Check the sprouts occasionally and add more beer if needed to keep them covered.
Drain the Brussels sprouts and return them to the saucepan. Add the butter, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Transfer the seasoned Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and serve hot.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added color and flavor.
