Ingredients

Serves 4.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 20 ounces brussels sprouts, trimmed, outside leaves removed and quartered (about 5 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt

  • 2 small shallots, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup water

Directions

Add salt, pepper, and shallots, and cook for 30 seconds more. Add water, and cover. Reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Remove lid.
  2. Add lemon juice, and drizzle with oil. Stir to combine well. Transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with lemon zest.
