I like Brussels sprouts. They're like tiny little bite-size cabbages. They are also the quintessentially hated vegetable in kid-centered comics and cartoons. Seriously, Dennis the Menace, Calvin, and of course, those ever-precocious Family Circus tykes, abhor Brussels sprouts like none other. Spinach is another oft-disliked vegetable, but at least it has Popeye behind it. Brussels sprouts have all the coolness of, well, Belgium.
However, Brussels sprouts are, in fact, delicious.
I like them either roasted in the oven or sauteed. Whole, halved, or quartered all work equally well. My basic sprouts recipe:
-Olive oil
-Salt and Pepper
-Sliced almonds or pine nuts
The oven-roasting is nice because the edges get a little bit crispy.
