    Brussel Sprouts redux!

    I remember that we had a thread on them last year and C152T and I were some of the only people who expressed a liking of them but...

    ...brussel sprouts are back in the supermarket! Had some last night with a bit of salmon and some seasoned rice...lightly steamed until they were cooked but still crisp...yum-mee!

    Ya either love 'em or ya don't.

    For anyone who hasn't tried it, I suggest roasted brussel sprouts.

    Toss the sprouts in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast at 400 F for 1/2 hour (shake the pan every so ofen to evenly roast the sprouts).

    Unbelievable.

    Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I'll express thanks that I will not have to eat brussel sprouts. But, I can live dangerously at times and may try the roasting to not only hopefully improve my taste for them, but also make them suffer all the more.

    I roast them, with pancetta, garlic, and pine nuts. I'm cooking 8 pounds tomorrow.

    Delicious!


    Cheers,

    Not neccessarily! I love 'em until I get that inevitable bitter one then I swear I'll never eat 'em again. Never tried to roast them. Need to try that.

    I love'em! We had them off the vine for our thanksgiving last month, and enjoyed them last week too. We steam them lightly, and then coat them in a grainy mustard mixture.

    I trim and peel them down to the glossy leaves, score the stems, and steam them before tossing them with caramelized pearl onions, toasted pecans, and browned butter. Always in demand - never a leftover.

    Regards,
    Rex.
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
