Brussels sprouts

Zumi, that looks delicious! I'm going to try that sometime. And I agree with the recipe Comshaw posted; I cook them like that and I eat them like candy.
 
Google 'brussels sprout soup'.
Amazingly, this soup is absolutely delicious and my family (who NEVER eat sprouts!) totally loved it and cleaned the pot.
I made the soup with bacon :)
 
In olive oil in a cast iron pan. Give them a nice char. Then a drizzle of balsamic (or truffle oil... sounds good.. need to try that) and serve with your steak.
 
vote me in oven roasted.

salt, pepper, olive oil.

i've had them cooked with bacon. divine.
 
I like them roasted with walnuts and cranberries and served with a little feta. I used to not like them, but I tried them after 20 years and I like them now. My kids do too.
 
Okay. Lots of good ideas here. I'm going to try roasting for sure.

Will report back on how the little buggers are received by my young veggie connoisseurs.
 
Clean them, trim them, cut them in half and fry them up in bacon grease.

Although I do quite like oven roasting them. Clean them, olive oil, salt and pepper, 400 degrees, flip after about 15 minutes, and then about 10 to 15 minutes more.

I :heart: brussel sprouts.

Or just cut the tops down to the steam with a cross, and steam the bastards. Dont boil them... and (Fuck you, mum) dont mash them.
 
If you have an enemy who drives a motor vehicle, stick a bunch of sprouts up their tailpipe. Seal them in with a potato. Works every time.
 
There is no good way to prepare these... they are evil. Destroy them. :)
 
Just don't pick them till after you get a good frost.
Brussels sprouts need a frost to take the bitterness out of them.
The ones grown in the south don't get frost and aren't all that good
 
CHEESY BRUSSELS SPROUT BAKE
Ingredients
3 tbsp. butter
2 small shallots, minced
2 lb. Brussels sprouts, halved
kosher salt
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
3/4 c. heavy cream
1/2 c. grated sharp white cheddar
1/2 c. Gruyère
1/2 c. cooked bacon crumbles

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add shallots and Brussels sprouts and season with salt and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and drizzle with cream, then top with cheddar, Gruyère, and bacon. Bake until heated through and cheese is bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes. (If your cheese won't brown, heat under the broiler, 1 minute.)

I think the best way to enjoy Brussels sprouts is to throw them in the compost bin.
