Cook it just so that the leaves turn a bright green. Residual heat will cook it further so make sure you watch your pot at the crucial time. I never timed it, but when your pot of brussels sprouts starts to boil, give it a minute and half then take it off the heat. Drain and transfer to your serving plate. Good luck! Hi Carmencita,

Paati, thank you for the compliment. That's another reason I love this dish, it always looks great... Dex, hubby turned me onto brussels sprouts. They look and taste like miniature cabbages, don't they? Hope you tried it and liked it Lani and Ces.
