Creamed Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 500 g Brussels sprouts
• 2 tbsp butter
• 125 ml water
• 125 ml cream or condensed milk
• 1 tsp, heaped vegetable broth, instant
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Remove the outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts and trim the stems slightly. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and briefly toss the sprouts in it, but do not let them brown. Deglaze with a mixture of 125 ml water and 125 ml cream or condensed milk, stir in the vegetable stock and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg. Simmer for 15-18 minutes, depending on the size of the sprouts, until tender, but not too soft. For a non-vegetarian version, dice 1 onion and 2 slices of cooked ham, sauté briefly in a separate pan, and add to the sprouts.
