Wanted: Brussels Sprouts Recipes

  • I just learned this recipe. After washing, slice the sprouts kind of thin, (I use 5 to 6 for my husband and myself) in a frying pan heat olive oil and over a med-high heat toss in the sprouts and stir so they are all coated then dust with garlic powder to taste. Now the tricky part is cooking them until they are almost scorched. I like the receipe so much I've made them twice in two week's!
  • Love them like this, I add alot of garlic. YUM. Just had them last night & I'm eating the leftovers for liunch today.

    Cut off bottom stem, shred sprouts in food processor. In large pan, cook some pancetta until slightly crispy (less calories than bacon). Add a little olive oil, garlic, (and onion if you like), cooking until fragrant (a minute or so). Add shredded brussels sprouts and saute until tender. Add salt+pepper to taste and top with shredded parmesan cheese.

    I take fresh brussel sprouts and blanch them in boiling water for about 1 min (just enough to be bright green). Then I pat them dry and put them on a baking sheet. You can drizzle a little bit of olive oil on them if you want to, but you don't have to, and add salt, pepper, and rosemary (you could use thyme or garlic too). Roast them on 400 for about 20-30 mins (until they start to get brown). To finish them off, splash them w/ a good balsamic vinegar. They are super yummy. Hope you have a great dinner!

    This, except I cut them in half and pan fry them for 5 minutes in a small amount of olive oil with shallots and fresh garlic (Instead of blanching).

    Then I lay them in a single layer on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper.

    Nummers.
  • Brussel Sprouts when roasted release all of their natural sugar. I cut them in half, place them in a bowl, and toss them with s & p, and olive oil. Put them on a baking sheet at 400 degrees till tender and grate some fresh parmesan while still hot. Delish and the only way I can eat them!

  • I ended up making the sprouts last night instead of the 15th. I halved them, sauteed in bacon fat, and added chicken stock and a bit of cider vinegar at the end (http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2012/03/brussels-sprouts-with-bacon-and-raisins - came up on my fave food blog DinnerALoveStory yesterday!) DH loved them but I'm still not a fan... too bitter. Next I will try roasting, perhaps under a beef roast....

    If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, get some of their cranberry apple butter. Halve the sprouts and saute them for a few minutes over medium heat. Then add a spoonful or two of the cranberry apple butter and serve with a little sea salt. Perfectly sweet and savory.

    Roasting them will only make them taste more bitter. Add sweetness to them - see my comment above.
