Re: Brussels sprouts

The only way I know of cooking them, is to boil them.

Re: Brussels sprouts

You can also steam them - very good with butter!

Re: Brussels sprouts

I've read that some folks roast them in the oven, although I've never tried them that way. I've only ever steamed them. I like them steamed with butter, vinegar and salt and pepper!

Re: Brussels sprouts

my personal favorite is to roast them on a high temp (400-450) in olive oil and sea salt and stir every 5 minutes or so. you want to pull them out once they are a deep rich brown. they are caramilized nicely and their flavor just sweetens nicely!

Re: Brussels sprouts

Thanks everybody for the suggestions
Oven already hot caused I have already cooked some salmon, I think I am going to put some brussels sprouts in it.
thanks tiredofchub,
do you put the brussels sprouts, whole as they are, or do you cut them?

Re: Brussels sprouts

I think you can do either: leaving them whole or slicing them in half. Slicing them in half will reduce the cooking time, so that's something you might want to consider if time is an issue.

Measuring is another issue for me right now. If i slice them I can fit more in one cup too!
thanks not2late

Re: Brussels sprouts

LOL. I cut mine in half. (cut through that lil doodad on the bottom so it holds together). it wont take them long dependingon size... 20 minutes perhaps. big ones take longer of course.

Re: Brussels sprouts

I -love- brussel sprouts.
I get the packaged frozen stuff, and toss them in a bowl with a few tablespoons of water and some butter and salt and pepper, and cook them for a few in the microwave. They come out -awesome- and keep pretty well for next day foodage in tupperware.

Re: Brussels sprouts

quick - easy - really tasty!!!
Thank you all for your suggestions
I have never been great at cooking and always ended up stuffing myself by the time the meal was ready
but this wol has been teaching to love experimenting new things, tryinf different ways in cooking
brussels sprouts in the oven tonight were beautiful!
I cut them in half, add black pepper, salt a bit of olive oil and left in the oven for about 20 minutes!
any suggestion for the next veggie?
which is your favourite one?

Re: Brussels sprouts

I love brussel sprouts. My dh still won't eat them, but I've got my super picky step-son eating them. Go figure.

Have you tried asparagus? I love roasted asparagus. Prepare it the same way you did the brussel sprouts.

How about yellow squash, I cut up some bacon and sautee it in a pan sometimes with a little sweet onion for spice. Add the sliced yellow squash and a little bit of water, cover and cook until tender. Cook zucchini the same way.

Re: Brussels sprouts

Rhinohd asked whether his recipe for brussels and pine nuts was induction legal http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ad.php?t=26380
Of course it is not as it has pine nuts, but then he adapted it using cooked bacon instead of the pine nuts.
