Wash brussel sprouts & discard discolored leaves. Cut off stem ends
& slash bottom of each sprout with a shallow x. Place sprouts in a
small amount of boiling water; cover, reduce heat & simmer
10 minutes or until tender. Drain & cool slightly. Slice in half
vertically. Melt margarine in a small saucepan. Cook over medium
heat until browned. Pour over brussel sprouts; toss gently to coat.
Sprinkle with pepper.
