“Brussel Sprouts That Don’t Suck”
That was literally the title of the recipe when I found it on a recipe message board awhile ago. When I entrered Whole Foods today, the b. sprouts greeted me and I felt inspired to bring some home and give them a try. Brussel Sprouts do have a pretty poor reputation, especially as a tool for the culinary torture of children. But if you make them like this recipe says, you’ll have a healthy and totally non-sucky side to accompany your main course. The husband even gave them a major thumbs-up and asked for more.
Brussel Sprouts That Don’t Suck
1 lb brussel sprouts
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp hot red pepper flakes or to taste
5 cloves, garlic finely minced
¼ - ½ tsp nutmeg or to taste
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
Trim the ends off the brussel sprouts and remove and discard any discolored outer leaves. If sprouts are large (more than 1 inch in diameter) cut them in quarters lengthwise through the stem end. If smaller, cut them in half.
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, add salt and the sprouts. Boil uncovered until they are just crunchy-tender, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook them! Drain well.
Wipe and dry the pot and heat the olive oil in it. Add the flakes and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the sprouts and nutmeg and sauté for another minute. Mix in the parmesan and toss the sprouts until the cheese melts.

I love brussel sprouts! When I was a kid, my mom used to cook frozen ones, which were just so-so, but then I tried fresh ones and it was such a revelation–so nutty and sweet, not cabbage-y at all. I eat them with just olive oil, salt, and lemon juice.
If you ever get the chance, go out to Chino’s Farm and get some of their brussel sprouts. Tiny and picked fresh each day, they are the best!

I love Brussels sprouts too. They’re great with a bit of crisped bacon or pancetta, or some candied walnuts. Ummm…

I’m the only one in my family who loves brussel sprouts, and even when I do make them for myself to eat at home everyone’s yellin’ at me for their “stink.” Like this simple recipe, can’t wait to try it out.

I actually love brussel sprouts. I found my favorite way of preparing them from Cook’s Illustrated. You basically just cut them in half and braise them in heavy cream, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. It’s very simple, but it will probably clog your arteries (unlike your yummy sounding recipe).

It’s an underrated vegetable. I love them roasted whole with olive oil. The texture is unbeatable. Pancetta is always good, too. I will have to give parmesan a try!
