Ingredients (Serves 4 as part of a Christmas lunch):

* 24 Brussels Sprouts
* 1 Apple
* 50g butter
* 3 tbsps olive oil

Method:

1. Whilst gently heating the butter and olive oil together in a heavy bottomed saucepan, prepare the sprouts and chop them into quarters
2. Add to the heated oil and butter and cook for 5 minutes, tossing gently in the pan now and then, until they just start to brown
3. Grate in the apple (skin too, if the apple is organic) and stir through the Brussels, cooking for another couple of minutes
4. Serve and devour!

Time From Cupboard-to-Table: 10 mins

Sorry, no time to work out nutritional value at moment- - got lots of presents to wrap before my sons get home :bigsmile:

    CAN'T DO IT, CAN'T DO IT, CAN'T DO IT!!!

    I love my vegetables, but brussel sprouts I can't do it. Maybe if someone sneaks them into something. Just reminds me of the taste of a nickel (and yes, as a child I tasted nickels...and pennies too)

    But thank you for sharing. I wonder if maybe cabbage might work too. Hmmmm.

    I LOVE :love: Brussel Sprouts too, especially steamed with a dollop yes 1 dollop :tongue: (1 tspoon for a family of 4 ) and 1 Tblsp water, cover the bowl and steam in the microwave until "aldente" they continue to cook inside for another minute or two so don't over cook. It is a good time of the year here in the U.K. for B/S's yumyum.

    Watched a programme on T.V. a few nights ago about people who's taste buds are much stronger and cannot eat Brassica ( Brussel Sprout's, Broccoli, Cabbage etc).
