Brussels Sprouts!

[TxDoc]

Who woulda thunk that I'd actually be looking forward to making myself brussels sprouts again for dinner???

Try them au gratin with bechamel sauce, and you will soon become addicted!

This recipe which is Sauteed Brussel Sprouts with Pistachios and Lemon looks good:

We merely steam brussel sprouts at this time. But this looks like something worthwhile to try and so easy.

I prepared this recipe today..delicious.

I saute them with garlic and a bit of onion or bacon, or I roast them with olive oil, bacon, a little salt and lemon juice. And I love them. A bit of a paint to prepare because I need someone to hang around with me and pull all the outer leaves off and help me slice the things, but worth it. So worth it.

I was a kid whose mother (and father) overcooked the veggies--boiled the poor things to death, they did. I now can't stand the thought of a boiled vegetable. I like mine crunchy, so they get lightly steamed or sauteed or roasted (okay, that doesn't result in crunchy veggies, but roasted carrots with a bit of ginger...)

Edit: and yay for me not paying attention to the fact that this was a year-old thread. It should have struck me as odd that a four-page thread about sprouts just sprang up out of nowhere.

No need to start up a 2nd brussel sprouts thread. So I went rummaging around in the attic.

History has relevance..or are we so fixated on just topics 3 days old?

I love them in the most simple way: boiled al dente, then sauteed in some butter. Pepper and nutmeg...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yummy! Sometimes I just steam them and sprinkle whatever spices on them that seems good at that moment.

Bring this thread forward to another year...

Yesterday I had lunch in our cafeteria - pot roast, roasted new potatoes, and vegie choice - corn or brussel sprouts. Now the corn was just plain corn, and I already had a starch... and the cook was offering everyone his brussel sprouts. Well I happen to like brussel sprouts and they did look interesting.

Brussel sprouts, chopped apple, dried cranberries, walnuts, and the sauce tasted like it had apple juice. They were wonderful! I could have had two servings. The brussel sprouts were sauteed, and definietly not "cooked to death."

The pot roast was fork tender and tastey too.

Wow, I want to come eat at your school!

Not a school, but an office cafeteria - and not a "big bucks" joint either. Trust me on this, the office is a former Ford plant, vintage 1940s. "Fairlane Cafeteria"

Oh, that explains it, then. Food for grownups.

We just came home from the store with some "Brussle Sprouts" as the label says. Or should I say "lable?"

[withm]

I made these the other day - pretty good!

Oh my, that looks and sounds heavenly! I'll have to try it. I haven't had brussel sprouts in literally decades, but I'd bet I'd like 'em in this. Thanks for posting!
