Side Dish: Brussels Sprouts

Cook the Brussels sprouts according to the instructions on the packet, then drain and drain well.

Melt the herb butter in a pan over medium heat. Peel the garlic, cut in half and place in the pan with the cut surface facing down and toss a little. Then remove the garlic. Add breadcrumbs and fry briefly. Add Brussels sprouts and fry over moderate heat until the Brussels sprouts have a light crust and are coated with breadcrumbs. Season to taste with a little salt and nutmeg.

You can also add a little olive oil to the pan in addition to the herb butter. The amount of breadcrumbs can also be varied or even omitted entirely.
