Give me your most yum Brussels sprouts recipes to make people eat them!

[JMAngel1]

just that really - how are you doing your Brussels sprouts (nearly typed BS then)!. Any other tasty veg side dish recipes for Xmas day? I was thinking about Jamie's creamed spinach dish on last night's Italian Xmas but anything else any one swears by for Xmas day with turkey?

Sprouts - I roast them with olive oil and garlic. They're fab.

Yes, roast them! It totally changes the taste. Even my sprout-hating mum is a convert!

Cut into halves, toss in salt, pepper, a little olive oil and balsamic glaze - amazing!

whole
little butter in frying pan
low heat
some bread crumbs, pinch of cinnamon, sugar
fry until slightly caramelised outside.

Mashed with butter and black pepper and squirt of lemon juice....

Anything roasted or fried - don't boil them to death basically!

They go well with bacon and/or garlic if you're looking to add flavour.

Cook as normal, but slightly under done. In a frying pan fry some bacon lardons, and halved precooked chestnuts, when they start to colour, tip in the sprouts. and toss well keeping turning for a few minutes, till th spouts are heated through.

I also like puree of sprouts which I make with a mouli, as you get a rich sprout taste. Add cream or butter, and some grated nutmeg.

Lightly steam them.

While they're steaming, melt butter in a frying pan with pancetta, olive oil and garlic.

When the sprouts are lightly steamed, chuck them in the frying pan along with some vacuum packed chestnuts, flat parsley, a dash of sherry and seasoning.

Bloody gorgeous. Even better the next day.

X post!

Great minds Toss!

I should add - then you roast them!

Less people that like them the more for me. Yum.

Tempted to do trial run roast vs pancetta ideas or is that too sad?!

Boil or steam until cooked then in a frying or saucepan, melt some butter, toss the sprouts in it and sprinkle with nutmeg.

That's how my Belgian grandma used to do them. Yummy

Shredded, cook pancetta till crispy then put the shredded sprouts in mix together and leave on a low heat until cooked. I hate sprouts, did this last xmas and had third helpings!

Stram then slowly roast. No fat, I can't bear greasy veg.

I do what Ada does with the lardons and chestnuts. Delicious. Although I often eat them outside of christmas roasted with garlic.

I mainly steam them, meanwhile in a dry pan fry some flaked almonds till they're nicely brown. Then add some olive oil and the Brussels sprouts to the almonds.

kikibo Us Belgians know what's good!

I shred them, cut some bacon into lardons, stir-fry the bacon, add the shredded sprouts, toss them around the wok for a while, then chuck in some white wine, wait until it's almost all evaporated and then add lots of black pepper and serve.

How long would you give them to roast?

No idea, I normally just google it.

Maple glazed with chestnuts & I sprinkle crispy bacon over the top.

Get red ones, they are less disgusting than the green ones !
