Brussel Sprout Slaw


1 pound of brussel sprouts (chopped very finely to resemble cole slaw)
1 Tablespoon of butter (olive oil or coconut oil)
1Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
Sea Salt
Lemon Pepper
Cayenne (optional)

Chop brussel sprouts very finely (they will shred if chopped small enough). In a pan melt the butter then add chopped brussel sprouts along with the rest of the ingredients.  Cook for about 1 minute.  Caution: cayenne is very over powering so a very small amount will do it.  If you would like it a little softer cook for longer.  We add this mixture on top of burgers or rice.  It saves well too - so make extra.
