I always thought they were little cabbages and that they should be turned into coleslaw until I saw a picture of them growing. All on a stalk.
Trow some bacon in there with them. Ummmm.Grilled a pork tenderloin and asparagus last night. Just on a whim, I grabbed a couple handfuls of Brussels sprouts, tossed them with olive oil, Kosher salt and pepper, put them into a cast iron gratin dish, and onto the grill it went. I kept it on mostly indirect heat and let it cook for maybe 15 minutes, turning a couple times.
It was an awesome surprise and very, very tasty. I may have found a new favorite veg to go with grilled stuff.
I love brussels sprouts! A very underrated green, IMHO.
I trim the base off, cut them in half, then steam them for 8-10 minutes. I then toss them in some olive oil, fresh ground pepper, and sea salt, then spread them out on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven at 375° F for 20 minutes. So good!
I love them, too. I usually fry them in butter for a while then add a container of crème fraîche to the mix and continue frying until most of the liquid is evaporated, hovering above the pan for a long while with my pepper grinder!

New favorite veg? I think yes!!
It was really easy too... Little olive oil, little balsamic, little salt/pepper/garlic, shake it all up, then put it all into a rocket hot cast iron skillet on the grill next to my steak and NOM NOM NOM!!!
Here's another take:
Slice the brussels in half and marinate with balsamic vinagrette for about an hour. Bring the oven to 400 and bake for about 45 minutes. The balsamic will carmelize and the brussels taste awesome. Turned this 'hater' into a 'lover'.
Cheers!
Something we discovered was roasting them in the oven. Slice the brussels sprouts into 1/4" thick slices, toss with evoo, sea salt, pepper and some garlic powder, and roast on a foil lined cookie sheet for 20-22 minutes in a 400 deg oven. Stir and turn them at about the 10 minute mark. They crisp up and caramelize really nice.
podz said:I've been eating brussel sprouts at least twice a week now since this thread became popular. Either that, or it's the fact that my local supermarket has been sold out on spinach, broccoli and green beens almost every time I've went there.
But they always have a huge stack of brussel sprouts.
Costco has a 2 lb bag I think for something like $3.99 back in the cold room.
I tried the roasted (in the oven) balsamic brussels sprouts this past saturday, but I put a slight twist on the recipe. It called for 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, which I did; but I also added 1 tablespoon of cranberry vinegar. My SIL makes this by pouring regular apple cider vinegar over fresh, whole cranberries & leaving it for a couple months. It's the most awesome flavoured vinegar I've ever tasted! Made for a very nice, very simple, very tasty change of pace.

That seems very overpriced to me. That price would be OK if it were a 4 lb bag. We buy 750g bags in Lidl for 1.99 EUR. That's more than 1.5 lbs for about 2.67 USD.
2 lbs is not really that much - a lot of the weight is water that evaporates during cooking. My wife eat that entire 750g bag just by ourselves in one meal.
BTW, Lidl is coming to the USA:

And you can probably already shop at Aldi.

Anyway, I mixed the good bacon fat with about 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg (which is key)
