How do you cook your sprouts?

[Procrastatron]

Looking for inspiration suitable for a veggie, a fussily carnivorous husband and two moderately fussy kids.

Sautéed in butter. Removed a portion for the veggie and add crispy bacon lardons to the rest.

Op you should have had them on to boil for at least a week already...

Depends what with. Steamed is nice, or roasted. Not boiled, they go like wet cotton buds!

Put them on now, low heat, be grand Friday

I just boil them. Not cordon blue, but it’s how we like them. Dd1 is also a veggie so can’t add bacon unless I want to separate them. Frankly on Christmas so have enough things that need attention to be faffing with the sprouts.

Just don’t boil them for too long or they turn to mush!

Very Light boil, burn leaves and then with lardons and butter in a frying pan.

In the airfryer. Coat in oil, salt and pepper. Mmm crispy sprouts.

No lardons and Ocado delivery locked in. Anyone ever air-fried them?

I cut them in half to boil for a few mins
Then lardons in butter until crispy then Chuck Brussels in

I just boil them with salt and pepper.

Sorry @Took cross post. That’s an option thank you

Husband boils for 5-10 mins and then roast them in oil and garlic. They are lovely.

I roast mine. Then grate over Parmesan when they’re out the oven.

Yes to air fryer! Absolutely gorgeous like pp said, with oil and salt and pepper.

Par boil. Then sauté with baby mushrooms and chestnuts in butter and a splash of Madeira

I am going to roast them with salt pepper and olive oil for 45 minutes.

It's too late to start them. They'll still be rock hard.

But if you must, cut them in half, boil for no more than 3 minutes in well salted water, drain, add knob of butter and a squeeze of pepper and keep them on the heat until they start to catch a little. Chucking a thickly sliced clove of garlic in there adds nicely - remove it at the end (if you must)

Cook with just a little water until they are near enough done, add a knob of butter and spoonful of cream. Crush a few sprouts, then stir it all together.
Lovely creamy sprouts.

Roasted with garlic and parmesan

Cut in half. Short boil. Fry bacon (optional) in butter, add chestnuts and sprouts. Season. Yum

Leave them in Tesco

Peel off the tougher outer leaves, put a little cross in the bottom, put in steamer for about 7 or 8 mins, douse liberally in unsalted butter and cracked black pepper. Serve with the streaky bacon (chopped up) that was over the turkey. All sprouts get eaten here.

Liking the garlic addition.
