8 Servings


20 ounces Brussels sprouts
1 3/4 cups chicken broth, boiling
3 tablespoons margarine
4 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup lowfat powdered milk,
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup chopped pecan halves

Prepare the sauce. Melt 3 tablespoons of margarine over low heat and blend in the flour. Cook 1 minute, stirring. Add dry milk, then boiling chicken broth all at once, beating with a wire whisk to blend. Cook and stir until sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from heat and stir in nutmeg and pecans.
