Brussels sprouts

[Aphro]

Give me some palatable suggestions on the best ways to prepare these nasty, little green fuckers.

Cook them in boiling water (or a microwave) then cover them with a cheese sauce topped with grated cheese and finish under a grill.

Okay, isn't that kind of cheating? I mean, you could cover completely mouldy bread in melted cheese and grill it, Ogg, and it would suddenly become palatable.

I buy the real ones in the produce section then steam them, holding all the nastiness inside.. actually I like them, sure I'm weird.. but Salmon and veggie mix heavy on the sprouts is a fav of mine.
I try to eat healthy to counteract all the toxins I put in my body in the various forms of alcohol

Cut them in half, toss them in a drizzle of olive oil with salt and pepper, spread them out on a sheet pan, and roast them in the oven at 450 degrees until they start to brown. Yum.

Clean them, trim them, cut them in half and fry them up in bacon grease.

Although I do quite like oven roasting them. Clean them, olive oil, salt and pepper, 400 degrees, flip after about 15 minutes, and then about 10 to 15 minutes more.

I brussel sprouts.

1/4" water in frying pan, butter and a little garlic. Boil those fuckers until water is gone, add as a salt and fry them a little. Still crunchy and still awesome. I love Brussels sprouts.

Yes. just not plain parmesan - it smells like vomit to me.

yes, why I said grate and not sprinkle.

 

[PissKitten]

Modestly toss them in some extra virgin olive oil with spices to taste - then scrap those bastards into the trash!

Haha I'm just kidding, not trying to be a troll! I'm not sure god himself could make those green fucks palatable to me (same with the sweaty jock strap that are cauliflower!) But I wish you best of luck! Cooking/eating healthy can be really hard. :/

 

[EternalFantasies]

Steam, cut in halves, butter / olive oil, Himalayan crystals.

 

[contrifan32]

In a heavy frying pan melt enough butter to coat the bottom completely, cut the sprouts in half and put cut side down, caramelize cut side and add salt, pepper and just enough chicken stock to steam until desired doneness.

 

[adrina]

Exactly.

 

[Trigger_Warning]

I enjoy them! Garlic, salt and pepper, bacon, bacon grease - good to go.

 

[oggbashan]

To paraphrase Doctor Johnson:

Cook thoroughly to your satisfaction, take them to the kitchen door, and throw them outside as being unfit for man or beast...

 

[doowdniw]

Anything (well, almost anything) can be redeemed with chopped onion, butter, a little garlic and bacon.

 

[spacekowboy]

If you mix coconut oil with your Brussels sprouts it makes them easier to throw in the garbage.

 

[jaF0]

The only way I ever remember eating them was boiled until soft, then add apple cider vinegar.

They're delicious. Saute them in butter; it helps if you cut them in half. Sprinkle some basil on them while they are cooking. Something about the suite in the basal counteracts the sulpher.

If you're going for a much healthier use the basil but steam them and add salt.

Dried basil works fine.

 

[silver gurl]

Hate them. Wrap them in bacon

Even better twist: marinate them overnight after the blanching and halving in pickle juice before the rest. Give 'em a lil' tang.

Are there fake brussel sprouts?


I like roasted with butter and garlic, al dente. I have some in the fridge ready to go with this bacon wrapped recipe, but I guess it’s like your monkey bread theory. Anything wrapped in bacon will become palatable. I’m going to try my soy/garlic/brown sugar glaze on the bacon once it’s done. Usually I barbie with this glaze on asparagus but it was 4 degrees this morn, and don’t feel like weathering the cold.

However you cook 'em, instead of salt try truffle salt. Amazing flavor, and a little goes a long way.
