How to Cook Brussels Sprouts

[joni470]

I generally roast them but lately I have thought it would be nice to try some new ways. My family is learning to like them and I thought it would be good to add some variety.

I like them lightly steamed (I just put a bit of water in the bottom of a saucepan and put them in and the lid, steam for a few minutes), then tossed in butter, a squeeze of lemon, some pepper and a dash of Braggs liquid aminos (or soy sauce).

[Halftime Hope]

stir fried in EVOO with a bit of seasoning (soy sauce, or minced garlic, or freshly ground pepper)

 

or

 

boil just til barely tender (really, don't cook it much)drain and cut in half. Dip in egg wash, and bread with breadcrumbs and parmesan. Fry in a skillet til golden brown on all side. My kids used to call these turtles when they were little.

I slice them thinly and fry in EVOO and a little salt and Pepper. Really nummy and only takes a few minutes to cook.

I was totally with Peela, until she brought in the liquid aminos or soy sauce. :)

 

Seriously, the rest of it is exactly the way I like them.

I cut them in half and roast them with thinly sliced red onion, a little olive oil and a little salt. Once they are cooked I sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar on them.

A casserole from my MIL: Cook a pkg. (1 lb.) frozen B Sprouts according to directions. Drain and mix with 1 15. oz can of quartered artichoke hearts. (NOT marinated ones) and put into a small to medium sized casserole dish.

In a small bowl mix together 1/2 Cup mayo, 2 teaspoons lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon celery salt. Spoon this over veggies. Sprinlke with sliced or slivered almonds and a bit of Parmesan cheese. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes or until bubbly and golden.

 

From the Barefoot Contessa (adapted a bit):

Cook 3-4 strips of bacon in large skillet. Remove the bacon and add 1 container of B sprouts (washed, ends trimmed and sliced in half lengthwise unless they're very small). Brown the sprouts in the bacon drippings over medium heat about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup golden raisins and 1.5 cups chx stock or good broth. lower the heat and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sprouts are tender when pierced with a knife - about 15 minutes. Add S & P to taste. Mix in crumbled bacon and serve. Yummy!

:lol:I roast them too. I did try a sample at Whole Foods this past winter. They were delicious. The woman roasted them with a touch of mapple syrup. I know that sounds odd, but they were "Yummy." It was a very little, and you could not tell by looking at them. Just a hint.
