Top tips for making sautéed Brussels sprouts
There is no need to put it a cross the bottom of your sprouts as you prepare them - in fact, this might be one of the reasons why so many people dislike them. The cross allows the sprouts to draw up more water into them if you’re steaming, boiling, or parboiling first. This can make the stems much mushier than they should be - boiling alone should give you just the right tender texture.
