  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Directions

Trim Brussels sprouts and cut in half. Steam until tender, about 6 to 10 minutes. Or microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes.

Bring the broth to a boil in a nonstick pot. Mix in the lemon juice, mustard, and thyme. Add the mushrooms.  Boil until the broth is reduced by half, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts. Toss well to coat with the sauce.
