I've got a ton of brussel sprouts out in my garden, and I need to bring them in this weekend. I'd like to make some kind of dish with them to bring to the family thanksgiving dinner, but don't know what to make. I'd sure love any suggestions!

I ended up growning them by mistake, when I went to the nursery for garden plants, they were mislabelled, and I thought I was growing cauliflower, until I saw the first sprouts! Dh says he doesn't like them, and I've never had them and don't know what to do with them! (I picked some earlier, but gave them to a friend who loves them)

mmmm... I like them leftover , halved and fried in butter... not exactly good for you! They are also fantastic with cheese sauce. I cant eat dairy anymore so I will sulk off pouting!! enjoy your brussel sprouts. Anything is better when you grow them yourselves!!

Our favorite way is brushed with olive oil and roasted on a bed of rock salt for 30 mins at 350.

I'm jealous! I LOVE brussell sprouts! I like to fry bacon and onion, add the cleaned brussell sprouts that have been cut in half and par boiled and let them finish cooking in the bacon and onion. Yummy! Oven roasted like the pp said is also very good.

We cut in half, steam and then put butter and lemon juice over them

Dh made a hobo stew the other day with them and ohhhhh was it yummy!

I got a recipe from Cooking Light that sautees proccuitto (sorry about the spelling!)and shallots in olive oil and butter. THen add parboiled and cut in half brussle sprouts, salt and pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving. THey are DELISH!!

Steam them and toss with a little bit of melted butter and maple syrup.

 

[Alkenny]

Steamed, then tossed with butter and LOTS of black pepper.

I'll only eat them roasted with olive oil almost until crispy on the outside. Yum, the perfect Thanksgiving side dish except my dh thinks that they are gross.

My mom served them to me recently, steamed with dill havarti cheese melted on top. Even my dh liked them.

My favorite way of eating them is by steaming them until tender then sauteeing them in brown butter until they start to brown a little on the edges. Sprinkle with salt and freshly grated nutmeg. I could eat a million this way.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING!

Honestly I hate them, but my parents didn't know you weren't supposed to harvest until after the frost. So they were really....really....REALLY nasty!

 

[Lilcrunchie]

I do a cross between a few of these....just did this the other day and they were yum.

Sauteed some nitrate/nitrite free maple bacon and some onions in a pan. In the meantime, I boiled the brussles sprouts for 6-7 mins or so. Rinsed them under cool water and then halved them. I added them to the softened onions and bacon, threw in some chestnuts (already roasted from a jar because I'm lazy). Let that heat up sufficiently, and then topped with a combo of maple syrup and butter stirred together. MMMMM.

I steam in microwave for 5 minutes and they toss in a frying pan with some garlic and olive oil, after they get golden edges I add Balsamic Vinegar and cook another few minutes. YUMMY!!!!!!!

Oh...this is good news! I didn't know that either, and was going to harvest them this weekend, and we had the first frost last night!
I am going to try something based on the ideas here...I'll steam or boil them a bit, then brush them with olive oil and sautee them with some shallots. I'll review this thread before I do anything, though, and will post my experiences!
Thanks!

I just steam them with salt, pepper, garlic, lemon & "butter", but they'd be great roasted.

If you don't like them, pm me, and I'll give you my address.
