			Brussel Sprouts redux!
		
			
				
					I remember that we had a thread on them last year and C152T and I were some of the only people who expressed a liking of them but...
 ...brussel sprouts are back in the supermarket!  Had some last night with a bit of salmon and some seasoned rice...lightly steamed until they were cooked but still crisp...yum-mee!
 
 Ya either love 'em or ya don't.

					For anyone who hasn't tried it, I suggest roasted brussel sprouts.
 Toss the sprouts in olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper.  Roast at 400 F for 1/2 hour (shake the pan every so ofen to evenly roast the sprouts).
 
 Unbelievable.

					Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I'll express thanks that I will not have to eat brussel sprouts.  But, I can live dangerously at times and may try the roasting to not only hopefully improve my taste for them, but also make them suffer all the more.

					I roast them, with pancetta, garlic, and pine nuts.  I'm cooking 8 pounds tomorrow.
 Delicious!

 Not neccessarily!  I love 'em until I get that inevitable bitter one then I swear I'll never eat 'em again.
  Never tried to roast them.  Need to try that.

					I love'em!  We had them off the vine for our thanksgiving last month, and enjoyed them last week too.  We steam them lightly, and then coat them in a grainy mustard mixture.

					I trim and peel them down to the glossy leaves, score the stems, and steam them before tossing them with caramelized pearl onions, toasted pecans, and browned butter.  Always in demand - never a leftover.
