This looks like a fantastic recipe. (It actually reminds me of one I posted just recently.) I think the secret for delish brussel sprouts is to saute rather than boil. This makes a huge difference in texture! Oh, and butter never hurts either.

I think it was the fact that our mothers use to boil the backsides off these wee guy’s that’s put us all off. I’m trying not to do that to my two, long live the delightful, slightly steamed, brussel sprout.

I LOVE brussel sprouts. Always have. Weird I suppose! I haven’t got any chestnuts but I am having brussel sprouts tonight. Trim them. Boil them first for a few minutes, then fry them in a little olive oil butter, add a squeeze of lemon juice (I think I will try the balsamic vinegar tonight.) Throw in a hand full of walnuts sprinkle with about a tabls. of fresh grated parmasen cheese.Kosher salt and pepper. It is a complete meal

FWIW, my sons, aged 17 and 28, both agreed that this was a great way to have the nasty little buggers!

You know I wasn’t a fan of the brussel sprout either but then one day someone made them this way and it was good. First you steam til they’re soft. Cut in half and then sautee in a pan in some organic butter for a couple minutes than add some sea salt. It was dee-lish.

That’s so funny…I posted about Brussels sprouts today too-I just tried them for the first time (embarassing but true) and yeah…I didn’t like them too much. Maybe you have the secret to loving them…maybe it’s butter?? I want to love them, I really do.

I saw a small package of brussels sprouts at our brand new Trader Joe’s this weekend…the SO and I traded looks and I said, “Well?” and he said, “Nah.” I was relieved. I’ve only eaten them once. I was about five years old and it was at the babysitter’s house. I remember being intrigued at first because they were cute. And then I discovered they were just tiny cabbages and tasted horrible. But I had to choke down a pile of them or not be able to watch tv. Horrid. The memory sticks with me over 30 years later.

But maybe I’ll give this a shot. They’re good for you, right?
