Brussels Sprouts Stir Fry

This recipe was was passed to me by my lady friend who is a vegetarian. Surprisingly, the lemon juice and zest made the sprouts taste pleasant. The absence of any meat still made the recipe filling because of the almond slivers. The recipe takes only 15 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients:

2 containers 10 oz fresh brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 red pepper, julienned
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground

In a skillet, simmer sprouts in just enough water. Cook for 8 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add almonds and red pepper. Stir fry for 2 minutes until lightly brown. Add sprouts, gently stirring until hot. Remove from heat. Stir in zest, juice, salt and pepper.

Makes 8 servings.

If a butterfly could talk of its experience of changing from a crawling insect into a multi-colored, graceful, flying creation, it would most likely be saying the words I felt in my heart. My healing through the 40 days of juice fasting gave back what drugs took away. Thanks for your support Tom. You were a good friend when I needed one.-Carl Wineberg

At the end of the 17-day fast, a physical problem was gone. My doctor had told me I had a stomach reflex disease and would have to take pills for the rest of my life, but after the fast I no longer had that disease; I was completely healed. Thanks Tom, your books and support was fabulous.-Grace Lang

I have lost over 30 lbs. to date, and have a new look as well as a new outlook on life. Not only did the fasting help me with my physical self, but my spiritual self will never be the same. The books were a total support and read them several times, especially when detoxing and feeling apathetic. I heard you have a new book coming out. Save my email, I want it.-Debbie Ried
