Roasted Brussels sprouts has been my favourite lately. I added leeks.

[applegrove]

Sublime!! Cut them all into silver dollar sized slices so they were all the same size including the sprouts. Used only the white part of the leeks. Tossed in balsamic vinagre and olive oil. Some salt and lots of pepper. Bake at 375 for 18 minutes. Yum.

1. They're really good with bacon too.

[applegrove]

2. That sounds good too.

3. Arrghh! You'd have to tie me up and hold me at gunpoint

to make me eat Brussels sprouts (and yes, I've tried roasting them and doing other recommended things and I still don't like them).

[applegrove]

6. You have to eat only the tiny ones and slice them in 3. The big ones are awful.

I used to hate them too. My mom boiled all the veggies. Now I love them roasted. My sister just gave me her families roasted vegetable favourite meal. They eat it all the time. I will try it then post it for you all.

15. I have tried several recipes from well-meaning people who want me to eat Brussels sprouts.

All of them were terrible and I couldn't eat them at all. Brussels sprouts, even the supposedly tasty small ones, are awful; they taste extremely bitter and smell like garbage.

9. As a child I loved them.

Now I don't actually hate them (I'll have a bite or two) but I certainly no longer enjoy them and would never voluntarily buy them to serve with a meal. My youngest loves them and will add them to most any meal she makes or requests.

Oh, and their odor lingers far too long.

4. Brussel sprouts ala me

Halve Brussel sprouts, garlic, black pepper, olive oil and turmeric.

In a sauce pan heat over medium low gas heat stirring occasionally until Brussel sprouts are soft to your preference.

12. I need to try them with the tumeric!

I foresee them for dinner tomorrow! Haha

[VarryOn]

5. Mmmmm!

I recently had them with a honey and olive oil based marinade. They were roasted at little higherat 425. I was eating them like candy!

I've been doing low carb since Jan1, so brussel sprouts have been prominate in my diet. Of course, I've stayed away from the homey-based marinades, except on a few occasions!

[Arkansas Granny]

8. Oh, yum. I've roasted them with green onions, but not leeks.

I've found that nothing beats a cast iron skillet for roasting veggies.

[applegrove]

10. My mom had a cast iron dutch oven that was from her anestors in Nova Scotia.

When we sold the cottage and everything in it i didn't save that. I could kick myself now that i am roasting things. I saved two cast iron irons for my sister who has a country place and has space for family heirlooms.

11. Oooh, that sounds like a nice addition.

Normally I just toss in olive oil, garlic, and balsamic and sprinkle with sea salt. I bet the leeks would really kick that up.

[applegrove]

13. They add a mild onion flavour to cut through the sprouts. Really good and

I cut them the same size: disks about 1/3 inch think so they cook in the same time. I use only the white or pale green part of the leeks.

[forgotmylogin]

14. I hated all vegetables including Brussels Sprouts until I learned to cook them myself.

I steam them in a pot with a lid on in about 1/4 inch of water with a few drops of soy sauce, butter, a dab of coconut oil or bacon fat, minced garlic, onion flakes and a shake of red pepper. If you time it exactly right, they'll be done (fork tender) just as the water disappears and you can uncover and saute them to a slight char. Then shake a little parmesan cheese on. MMM.

16. Book marking.

[democratisphere]

17. One of my favorites. Could eat a bowlful each day.

[woodsprite]

18. I also love a little pancetta roasted in with them! nt

[artislife]

19. Leeks are magical, I tell you!

I like most of the onion food types but leeks hold a special place. Roasted with brussels sprouts, yum

[applegrove]

20. I thought I invented it. Darn!!
