I went to the farmer´s market and couldn´t but buy a big amount of Brussel sprouts as they were exceptionally beautiful. I usually boil them and then fry some shreded bacon and mix with them. Any other idea? Please share. I´m sure I´ll try them all
Thanks

I´ll do it. I usually make a spinach cream for salmon. It´s cholesterol filled to counteract the action of the salmon and it´s omega 3

I cook fresh spinach with almost no water. When they are warm or cold I take the water out with my hands making little balls. Then I mince then with a sharp knife and put them in a big skillet to heat with milk, butter, cream and salt/pepper. Just before serving I add lots of parmesan cheese. I use the whole spinach except the roots, of course.

Sorry Marg, i hate brussel sprouts. I have seen them served w/a cheese sauce.They are the only veggie that i know of that i don't like.

My dear friend;
You´ll have to try at least a small bite when I got visit you at your home. You will have to let me cook once in a while

I used to have a great recipe for brussel sprouts but somehow lost it
so I'm trying to remember it from my memory...
Take one container's worth of Brussel Sprouts--usually there are about ten to fifteen in a container? Then pare two carrots and cut into slices and place both sprouts and carrots in water...cook until done. In another saucepan, pour about a cup (or more) or orange juice and bring to a boil...in a cup add some cornstarch and mix with water to make a paste then slowly add into orange juice, whisking to blend and thicken---you pour the orange juice "sauce" over the brussel sprouts and carrots just before serving...I always had this dish with my Christmas dinners

I have never had them other than as a side dish with either just butter, salt and pepper or some cheese sauce. Your way of cooking them does sound pretty good though. I actually really like Brussels sprouts. The smaller they are the better they taste in my opinion.

I have found out that it´s not actually the size but the leaves have to be very tight together.

If it is just like cabbage, what i do with the cabbage i sliced them thinly like julienne. Minced some garlic and onion and use either groung pork, chicken or beef. I saute the garlice, onions and meat. Pour a little water, salt, pepper or soysauce. Boil until meat is cooked and dry. I put julienned carrot then after about 3-5 minutes, the cabbage. Stir them for a while then served. Its just like one meal. I just don't know if can be done with brussels.

Brussel sprouts are of the cabagge family but the similarity ends there. Brussel sprouts can be placed as side dish in very special occations. And the way of cooking them have to go along with their elegance

THanks for the links. At first site, I still like my versions (I have 2 or 3) better but I will study them. The asparagus in one of them caught my attention. Thanks
