Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 We love them but the only way I have cooked them is to put them in a baking dish, coat in olive oil and sea salt and roast them. Crispy on the outside, hot and soft on the inside. Mmmm! Wondered if any of you had other yummy ways to serve this misunderstood veggie. I find many people I talk to say YUCK when I mention them. I guess they have flashbacks of eating bland ones when they were young. Any recipes would be appreciated. I have been buying them at the Farmer`s market, blanching, and freezing so that I have plenty for the winter. Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 My whole family thinks of these as a favorite. We always steam them and serve with earth balance and salt. Yum yum yum.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I LOVE Brussel Sprouts. This recipe is from another veggie group, I think. I only make this with sprouts and tomatoes from the farmers' markets: Brussels Sprouts Provencale This recipe is easy to adjust to how many Brussels sprouts you have. Just follow the basic technique and adjust the amount of oil and butter to the quantity of veggies you¢re using. 2 pounds Brussels sprouts 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon butter 3 medium tomatoes, diced 2 teaspoons garlic, crushed 1 medium onion, diced 1 teaspoon fresh herbs, chopped salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Cut off stem ends of Brussels sprouts and remove any wilted or damaged leaves, plunge into boiling water and cook until tender but still bright green, about 10 minutes. Remove and drain well. Heat oil and butter in a pan and cook onion and garlic until softened, but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomato and herbs. Season to taste and cook 1 minute longer to heat through. Arrange Brussels sprouts in a serving dish and spoon tomato mixture over the top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately. Serves 6. Here is a recipe from Stonyfield farms, Ingredients 2lbs fresh Brussels sprouts Pinch of salt Black pepper to taste 1 cup Stonyfield Farm organic lowfat plain yogurt 1 cup Newman¢s Own Parmesan & Roasted Garlic dressing Topping: Shavings of parmesan cheese to garnish Directions With a small knife trim the base and discard the outer layer of leaves. Score an X in the center of the base for each sprout. Steam for about 5 minutes or until tender. Place cooked sprouts into a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend together yogurt and dressing. Mix all ingredients and serve. Garnish with Parmesan shavings.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 You are so lucky to have all those fresh brussels sprouts. Yum!!! Here is a link for a recipe that's so easy and delicious. It can also be made non-dairy easily by sauteeing with oil instead of butter (and vegan, depending on the noodles, I guess). http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/FETTUCCINE-WITH-BRUSSELS- SPROUTS-AND-PINE-NUTS-240591 www.epicurious.com has tons more Brussels sprouts recipes. It's my go- to Web site when I have one ingredient in abundance and am seeking recipes. You just have to plug your ingredient(s) in the search space. Another way I love 'em: This might be strange, but I steam them in the microwave or on the stove and then pour on some (low-sodium) soy sauce. It is so tasty, and fat free.
