Thread: Brussels Sprouts

What the best, most tasty way to cook brussels sprouts?

An Adam Kuban fav and mine http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2007/11/serious-thanksgiving-sauteed-brussels-sprouts.html?ref=thxgindex My people love this recipe.

I like (ok, love) them simply roasted. Just cut them in half, toss with some olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper and roast in the oven for about 30 minutes (until tender; I like them with a bit of char/caramelization). Delicious!

I like to steam them and toss with a bit of butter and a drizzle of malt vinegar.

I like to blanch them and then toss them in some chunks of bacon and a touch of brown sugar or a splash of soy sauce. I loved them as a kid. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to like them. Or broccoli or spinach for that matter. My dad always cooked them with brown sugar so they were like candy.

i second the roasting (i like to add some red pepper flakes too), or i'll shred them and fry in a pan with hot oil, s&p and red pepper, then drizzle with a little balsamic or grate some parmesan (if i've got it) over them. also yummy if you toss some slivered almonds into the pan.

Use your FP, or knife, and cut them into a chiffonade. Saute with garlic, EVOO, maybe some onions, & seasoning, just like the poster before me. Saute until a little bit browned. Add ins are great. I grew up eating these as a prized boiled fall veggie, but my cooking style is so different. Grandma doesn't care, as long as it's tasty!

I like them sliced thin and sauteed with hazelnuts (pistachios are great too) and dried cranberries and finished with a bit of orange juice and butter.

I cut up a few slices of good bacon, render them down until the bacon "bits" are good and crispy. I remove the bacon bits with a slotted spoon, and toss the washed and halved brussel spouts into the bacon fat and saute until they are bright green and have some caramelization on them (just slightly browned edges). If the pan is too dry (sometimes really lean bacon doesn't render enough fat), put a dash of chicken stock in so...

Quartered brussel sprouts, chopped apple, apple cider, olive oil, salt, pepper, roast at 375. Perfection.
