How To Prepare Brussels Sprouts:

1 pound of brussels sprouts = approximately 50 tiny sprouts or 17 to 20 large sprouts. Buy Brussels sprouts of roughly equivalent size so they cook evenly.

Wash the sprouts under running water. Slice off the stem end about 1/4 way into the sprout and then remove the yellowing outer leaves. Check to see that the remaining sprout is completely clean and the leaves unblemished, if not wash again and remove another layer of outer leaves.

With a sharp knife, cut an X into the stem end. This helps the interior core cook at the same rate as the outer leaves.
