End of the Brussels Sprouts

Even though spring is just now appearing, sources I trust (okay fine, they have a commercial interest) tell me that the Brussels sprouts season is almost over. Winter vegetable. These babies were delish, though.

I didn't eat them growing up. so I suppose my mother doesn't like them. Weirdly, with no evidence, I decided I didn't like them either. Earlier last year I worked up the willingness to try them for the first time. What a mistake I've been making!

The only way I have prepared them is sauteed with garlic, and topped with salt, cracked black pepper, and Parmesan or Romano. The first time I made them, I cut an X into the base of the sprouts before cooking and then boiled briefly, and it was good but too much work. Now I just cut them in half and saute raw. Unfortunately, I don't remember the original source for the X-cut recommendation.

Tonight I used butter and olive oil to saute and Romano to top. Here they are in the pan.



And ready to eat.



Verdict: A+
Credits: I can't remember where I found my advice, but good advice is easy to find on the web.
Leftovers? Never. Too great to not finish.

Notes: 101 cookbooks has a great recipe that is almost exactly what I do. It just isn't my source, because I tried them a couple times before this recipe was posted.

I tend not to leave a great deal of comments, however i did
a few searching and wound up here "End of the Brussels Sprouts".

And I do have a few questions for you if it's allright. Could it be just me or does it give the impression like a few of the responses appear as if they are written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I'd like to
keep up with everything new you have to post.
Would you make a list of every one of all your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

After I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me

time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the exact same comment.
Perhaps there is a way you are able to remove me from that service?
Thanks!

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know
this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Hi! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I'm trying to
find a template or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!
