Anyone Will Eat Brussels Sprouts THIS Way!

Brussels sprouts get a bad rap. If cooked correctly, they're delicious. Not the bitter mushy things our moms made....


This isn't even really a recipe...just a couple of suggestions:

• Roasting Brussels sprouts brings out their nuttiness. Drizzle with a little olive oil and roast at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or so. Stir or toss occasionally to avoid burning.


• Run your trimmed sprouts through the slicing blade of your food processor. And then saute the shredded bits in a little olive oil. Same great flavor with a different texture.


• And for the coup de grace...add a little diced bacon or prosciutto. Brown it a bit and toss with the Brussels sprouts after they've roasted. Or brown and then saute your shredded sprouts in the same pan.

Food/Wine Pairing: I know this sounds strange, but adding bacon to the Brussels sprouts makes them the perfect foil for a funky earthy Pinot Noir.
