Description: Have some fresh brussel sprouts on hand? This is a tasty recipe to ensure you enjoy them!

Ingredients:
1 pound (16 ounces)  fresh brussel sprouts
2 stalks  celery
4 cloves  fresh garlic
a pinch  paprika
1/2 tsp  basil
2 sprays  PAM Olive Oil
1/2 tsp  black pepper
1 tbsp  lemon juice

Instructions: Cook the fresh brussel sprouts in the microwave for about 3 minutes (some fresh packages, like from Trader Joes, allow you to leave them in the bag). While the sprouts are cooking, on a cutting board mince the garlic and chop up the celery into small pieces. Spray a medium sized pan with PAM and turn on medium-high heat. Add the chopped garlic and celery. Cook this for about 5 minutes on the stove. As it is cooking, take the brussel sprouts out of the microwave. Chop off the bottom stem of the brussel sprouts and slice them into quarters. Add the brussel sprouts to the pan with the garlic and celery. Cook for 10 minutes moving all the food around; the brussel sprouts will begin to brown (the browner the better!). Add the paprika, basil, pepper and lemon juice. Continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. Serve warm. Reheat leftovers for 1-2 minutes.
