Brussels Sprouts For People Who Think They Hate Brussels Sprouts

1. 1

   Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and remove and discard any discolored outer leaves. If sprouts are large (more than 1 inch in diameter), cut them in quarters lengthwise through the stem end. If smaller, cut them in half.

2. 2

   Bring 2 quarts of water to boil, add salt and the sprouts. Boil the sprouts uncovered until they are just crunchy-tender, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook them. Drain the sprouts well.

3. 3

   Wipe and dry the pot and heat the olive oil in it. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the sprouts and nutmeg and saute for another minute. Mix in the Parmesan cheese and toss the sprouts until the cheese melts.
