quiregrrlI remember when i was a kid, Evil Nanna would make me eat brussels sprouts... they were boiled whole, soggy, revolting. I've not eaten them since I was old enough to stand up to her.
I keep reading on foodie blogs of people putting them in stir-frys, sauteeing them, and loving the sprouts. Whilst wandering the supermarket this evening looking for a cheap green option for dinner, I noticed that sprouts were a mere $3 a kilo... so I thought I'd be brave and revisit.
Cut the bottom bits off, quartered them, threw a knob of butter into a hot pan, added a chopped clove of garlic, let the butter start to brown then threw in the sprouts, sauteed and stirred till they were bright green and starting to get limp then tipped them out.
OH MY GOD YUM!!
Turned the heat up, threw a half piece of rump steak in and cooked it in the leftover butter and garlic, and that was dinner.
So yum. Brussels Sprouts are GOOD!! they will be finding their way to my plate on a very regular basis I'm thinking!
