Sauteed Brussels Sprouts With Garlic and Olive Oil

Makes four servings

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
2 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
4 plump, moist garlic cloves, peeled, halved, green germ removed, slivered
1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Peel away and separate the leaves of the Brussels sprouts. Discard the cores.

In a large skillet, combine the oil, garlic and salt. Cook over moderate heat, just until the garlic is golden, two to three minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts leaves, and cook just until crisp, two to three minutes more. Season to taste. Serve immediately.
