My mother made brussels sprouts this way and now I do, too as the

whole family, even extended loves them. My parents always grew them,

too.

First cut off the bottom of the brussel sprout and remove any

discolored outer leaves. Next, place a fairly deep X cut into the

bottom where the stem was to facilitate fast and even cooking. Next

blanch them in water and cook to desired tenderness. Meanwhile,

chop up lots of garlic, I use a mini chopper or mezzaluna and saute

in olive oil in a saute pan that is large enough to hold the cooked

brussels sprouts in a single layer. Next, toss in the sprouts and

sprinkle bread crumbs on top and saute until crumbs are lightly

browned and serve. I serve them every holiday dinner that I can get

them. I always use fresh sprouts and they are always eaten up entirely.
