Festive Christmas Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients:

2 10 ounce packages of frozen Brussels sprouts, thawed

1/4 cup butter or margarine (It's Christmas...use the butter!)

Salt to taste

Freshly ground pepper, and plenty of it

A pinch of allspice (optional)

The seeds on one large, fresh pomegranate

Directions:

Add butter to a large sauté or frying pan and heat over high heat until the butter is melted.

Add the Brussels sprouts, giving the pan a good shake to coat the Brussels sprouts with butter. Season with salt and lots of freshly ground pepper.

Continue to shake the pan over high heat until the Brussels sprouts are just heated through...hot to the touch but still a nice,bright green in color.

Remove the pan for heat and add the pomegranate seeds and allspice to the pan.

Stir gently to mix in the pomegranate seeds without breaking them.

Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately.
