'x'? was: Wine Glazed Brussel Sprouts

[Guest guest]

I've understood that the 'x' allows the B.sprouts to cook thoroughly

without being overcooked. Sometimes I just trim the ends off without

doing the 'x' and that seems to work as well. Otherwise you might

overcook them and then they get mushy, which isn't very nice.

 

Mmmm, I've got B.sprouts in the fridge, will have to cook them up tonight.
