The phrase "brussel sprouts" used to send evil chills up my spine when I was a kid. Since then I've discovered numerous creative ways how to cook brussel sprouts that would please even the toughest of critics. I guess some foods your taste buds just need a chance to grow into. One of my favorite dishes is called "Mediterranean Brussels Sprouts" and it's one of the easiest and most delicious ways I know of how to cook brussel sprouts.

This is how to cook brussel sprouts

You will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound Brussels Sprouts, ends trimmed and yellow leaves removed
- 2 Garlic Cloves, crushed
- 3 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 TBS Dijon Mustard
- 1 TBS Parsley, minced
- Sea Salt and Black Pepper to taste

To make the Mediterranean Dressing, in a small bowl combine extra virgin olive oil, dijon mustard and parsley. Mix well and set aside. Fill a medium sized pot with about 2 inches of water, place vegetable steamer in pot and heat on medium-high. While water is heating, quarter the trimmed Brussels sprouts and let sit for 5 minutes.

Remove Brussels sprouts and garlic from pot and toss with Mediterranean dressing while still hot. Season with sea salt and fresh black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
