1. 1

   Fill a medium pot with water, add the salt for boiling, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

2. 2

   While the water is heating, prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming off the tough ends and removing any discolored outer leaves.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: If some sprouts are much larger than others, cut them in half to ensure even cooking.

   Carefully add the Brussels sprouts to the boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork but still bright green.

   Ongeveer 7 min

   Tip van de kok: Avoid overcooking the sprouts, as they can become mushy and lose their vibrant color.

   Drain the sprouts in a colander and immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool them down.
