SO simple, so healthy, so easy and so fast! Even faster if you do what I did and just chop the brussels sprouts instead of picking them apart for leaves. I plan to make it for Thanksgiving but increasing the brussels sprouts and decreasing the Israeli couscous, but only for that night, just for fear of carb overload. Anyways, make this! Totally a new staple.         Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/20/2011   This recipe is SO good! I have never enjoyed brussels sprouts. However, this recipe with the lemon makes the sprouts really tasty. I use whole wheat Israeli couscous. One thing I change is separating the leaves. It is painful and time consuming. I have been slicing them and having wonderful results.
