Brussels sprouts was veggies & kids

[Guest guest]

Yes, I love Brussels sprouts and even as a kid! Probably because my

mom would sprinkle them with vinegar. That's how I ate my canned

spinach, too!

 

When buying them, try to get as small a sprout as possible. The

larger ones tend to be tougher and have a stronger flavor. Tear off

the outer leaves (usually one or two of them) and then cut off the

bottom. Some people say to slice an X into the bottom, but I just

slice them off.

 

You can steam them like you do other veggies. Pierce with a sharp

nice through the bottom to test for doneness. Should go in easily.

 

You can also sautee them. In my favorite magazine (not vegetarian),

Saveur, I followed a recipe to saute them in garlic infuced oil and

then add breadcrumbs. I just went to their site to find the recipe,

but it's not there. I'll have to look it up when I'm home.
