Brussels Sprouts tossed in Butter

OK, all I did to change this recipe from Julia Child was to alter the amounts to fit a serving for two people. Since I am not including any amounts here, you can use the amounts you need.

Ingredients:

• Organic Brussels Sprouts - as many as you need
• Sea Salt
• 4 tb. or more butter
• Black Pepper

Directions:

1. Clean the Brussels sprouts and cut off the withered leaves and root ends
2. Pierce each end with an "X"
3. Bring a kettle of water, enough to cover the sprouts, to a boil adding some salt
4. Cook 4-5 minutes
5. Immediately, or several hours later, melt butter in a frying pan
6. Cut the sprouts in half or quarters
7. Add sprouts to frying pan and toss - do not stir
8. Add salt and pepper to taste
