Guest guest Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I've heard that grilled brussel sprouts are really good, haven't tried it, but grilled asparagus is great...so along the same lines I guess! , " Denise Gontard " <dgontard wrote: > > Brussel sprouts are a favourite of mine. When I was 10 (many moons ago), I got the flu on a family train trip to Québec City in winter (I still remember it being the most gorgeous place in winter). All I wanted was brussel sprouts. We ended up at this fancy French restaurant, where they sautéed the brussel sprouts in butter to the point where they were slightly caramelized on the outside... just for me! I must have looked really pathetic It was the absolute best! A little sweetness of the carmelizing and the slight bitterness of the brussel sprouts... yummy. I was feeling better by the time we got on the train to go back home, later that night. > > As an adult, I throw them in the microwave with 1/4cup of water in a covered dish for 5 minutes and sprinkle with kosher salt (not table salt.. it's just not the same!). But I get them fresh when they are in season. That makes a big difference in their taste, too. I stay away from the frozen brussel sprouts. > > Cheers! > Denise G. > > - > Donnalilacflower > > Sunday, July 08, 2007 9:20 AM > Cyndy asparagus and brussels sprouts how to cook them > > > Cut the bottoms off the asparagus and boil the spears > for about 4 minutes, drain, baste with garlic butter > and grill them.
