Brussels sprouts?
« on: December 31, 2012, 01:29:08 PM »
How do you cook them?  Favorite recipes?
I don't like them just plain steamed.

Just put some in the oven tossed with OO and balsamic vinegar, a handful of dried cranberries and 1/2 of a pear and ground pepper.  I'm just guessing with this "recipe", though. 
It would appear that I am trying to drown out the taste of the sprouts.

Cream.
What do I do with the cream?  Cook them in it?  Can you be more specific?

Your recipe sounds pretty good - I love them roasted, even without anything else, just tossed in olive oil with some kosher salt.

When I first started making them, I tried this recipe: Golden-Crusted Brussels Sprouts and loved it. Now I'm just too lazy and throwing them in the oven is easier than cleaning my cast iron pan.  :P

All right all right.  I cut the ends off the sprouts and put them in a medium sauce pan.  Then I cover them with cream and cook ~45 minutes medium heat, stirring when I feel like it and making sure the cream doesn't boil & bubble and burn.

My 10 year old son can eat an entire pot of them cooked this way.

Cut in half & Toss in olive oil, sprinkle with salt & pepper. Roast for 25 minutes.

Prepare dressing of olive oil, garlic, and anchovies, cook on low until anchovies dissolve.  Pour over roasted sprouts and squeeze some lemon over.

i steam them, then put a teeny bit of EVOO or butter in the skillet and sautee them with a little seasoned salt and garlic powder browning them up a bit.

  I bet it would be good with some cheese added to that cream.  :)

They were OK.  I overcooked them so they were mushy.  But the balsamic really caramelized so they were pretty browned.
I like the idea of lemon pepper.  Or fresh lemon.
And cheese.
I just can't eat anchovies...   :nono:

It was a Costco bag leftover from Christmas dinner and there's enough for another couple of meals.  I'll experiment some more.

Another roasted fan here... sometimes I roast other stuff with them, sometimes not. I've tried them other ways but roasting is easy and they freeze really well that way- so why bother elsewise?

I shred them, and then sautee them with onion, garlic, olive oil, and a little sugar.

How do you prep them to begin with? I see them in the store, I've seen several recipes that interest me, but I don't know how to prep them.

I suck.

I cut the bottom stump off and then if the first leaves are icky, i pull them off. I generally pick small ones, but if they are big, i slice in half.
