Hey KIDS! Who wants more BRUSSELS SPROOOOOUUUUTS???????

[Stinky The Clown]

Increasingly, these scale model cabbages, these cuciferous little jewels, have become one of my go-to vegetables.

Today, we crossed a line, a dozen or so of them and me.

Trim any bad outer leaves. Trim the stem to flush with the head. Zap them for 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, make a poultice of olive oil, finely chopped raw garlic, dry mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. When the green orbs emerge from their electron bombardment, toss them in the garliconcoction and skewer them.

Heat your grill to medium. Grill the skewered little morsels about 5 minutes on a side. When they're done, deskewer and toss in the remaining poultice.

HooooooBOY!




(You could easily do these in a stove-top grill pan. There is not a lot of smoke or drama in grilling them .... but the smell is ..... well ..... it *is* garlic.)
