Brussel Sprouts with Truffle Butter

Brussel Sprouts with Truffle Butter

This is the quintessential vegetable that is served at most Thanksgiving dinners. Why you ask? I think it is because like pumpkins, they are in season. Why relegate these tiny cabbages to only Thanksgiving? Just like a lot of other vegetables we think we have to cook them to death. Not so. I boil mine to crisp tender and then fry them in a pan with some truffle butter. It is a very luxurious treatment for a humble vegetable, but I think it is worth it. The addition of vinegar gives it a light sour bite that goes so very well with this vegetable.
