As many of you will already know I am a great fan of the Brussels sprout. Sadly, so many have been put off these tasty vegetables having been served them boiled almost to a mush in their childhood. Now, a sprout is OK boiled ( briefly) , but I think it is far better fried or roasted. This is a great way to serve them from ” Dinner” by Meera Sodha.
A festive dish from ” Flavour” by Yotam Ottolenghi and Ixta Belfrage. You can prepare the shallots, garlic, chestnuts and grapes the day before and refrigerate overnight, but only cook the sprouts on the day you are serving the dish.
A recipe from Olia Hercules described as ” sprouts that even the haters might love”. Go on, try it, you know you want to. We loved it, but we like sprouts anyway.
Its coming on Christmas They’re cutting down trees and Tis the season of Brussels Sprouts. I have to admit that they are one of my favourite vegetables and i always look forward to their appearance at my local Greengrocers. This is the first dish I cooked with them this year- a one pan recipe for brunch or supper from Gill Meller. But I will be posting a few more recipes to encourage you all to eat more of these delicious vegetables.
Greens, herbs and cream from ” Greenfeast: autumn,winter” by Nigel Slater. You might think you dislike sprouts but I urge you to try meals like this before wholly dismissing them.
