U"ber-sprouts

Start with fresh sprouts. Trim the stems and peel the outside layer.
Cut them in half top to bottom so they hold together after being cut.

In a pan heat oil and sautee some diced garlic until soft. By the end
the garlic will have browned. Add finely sliced or diced ginger. When
the ginger turns clear add the sprouts and sautee until they have mostly
softened.

It also works well with any of the other bitter cruciferous family that
we've tried. U"ber-rapini was a part of Sunday's dinner.

As much as I love sprouts in those prepared bags fresh sauteed beats the
bag every time.
