Apparently not - they seem to be making a comeback this year and with all of the tempting recipes floating around places like Pinterest I decided to give one a go.
The dish with the most rave reviews seemed to be roasted brussels sprouts with bacon and apple and so I had a crack at this recipe (on a smaller scale). They turned out wonderfully and I was an instant convert.
What's not to love about brussels sprouts? They're so cute, like mini cabbages!
Are you a sprout fan?
I'm looking for some new ways to try them, now - what ways do you like to cook them?
I love 'em.
ReplyDeleteHated them as a child but then I hated a lot of veggies back then (probably because Grandma's way of cooking veggies was to boil them to death).
Sprouts are delish on their own, with apple, cranberry or mint sauce, with bacon or boiled/steamed al dente and then quickly sauteed in bacon grease.
Then the next day you can chop up leftover sprouts and mix with leftover mashed potatoes, shape into patties, roll in fine breadcrumbs and fried/baked until golden and served with a fried/poached egg on top and bacon/sausage on the side - Yum!
Lots of great ideas - thank you, Kia :o)
DeleteI wasn't a fan, but the boys adore them, so I have learned to love them. Bacon and garlic and a fav here!
ReplyDeleteOoh, garlic is a good idea - thanks, Jen :o)
DeleteBoiled/steamed then mashed with butter. The only way certain children will eat them :-)
ReplyDeleteButtery sprouts sound particularly good!
DeleteI love sprouts just as they are, couldn't imagine Christmas without them. My sister and I always fight for whatever's left once everyone has had some. Our girls eat them too so that's even more competition this year
ReplyDeleteHaha, I've yet to witness a fight over sprouts! On Cameron's first Christmas there were so many leftover that we pureed them for his baby food.
DeleteWe either put them in soup (like minestrone or vegetable) and we also bake them with cheese and ham or bacon.
