Yuck little death balls. Anyone tried the recipe that was done on Bottom? Sprouts Mexicaine? All you need is sprouts that are a year out of date, curry spices and gunpowder...

A much maligned vegetable, I fear, mainly because most people cook them to death.

I am prepared to put my head above the parapet and say proudly I LIKE SPROUTS!

Am I the only one?

I LOVE sprouts, Edna. Bloody marvellous veg

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Lots of people don't like them because they overcook them. This releases stuff called glucosinolate sinigrin which gives that horrible sulphorous smell. Less than six minutes cooking (pref steaming) will prevent that and you can ENJOY.

What's the difference between brussels sprouts and a bogey?

You can't get a kid to eat brussels sprouts

They are gorgeous, hot or cold and especially nice in a sandwich.

Peeled and crossed. Drop them into boiling water for 11 minutes, no longer.

Perfect. Not too soft, not too hard.

Peeled and crossed. Drop them into boiling water for 11 minutes, no longer.

Perfect. Not too soft, not too hard.

11 minutes is too long for me as I prefer them quite crisp but why do we cross them, my mum did this when I was a child and I have always done the same ever since, my wife does this also, why cant we just put a cut into them if it is best for cooking, why a cross.

 

[GT49er]

Not a big fan. I do eat them, but without enthusiasm.

 

[Bobby's Gull]

They are the devils balls.

 

[Everest]

As long as a knife goes through without too much pressure, yes.
Too hard and the dog has them, whether he wants them or not.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Another fan of sprouts here. As said before the trick is not to overcook them. My old Dad used to call them fart buds.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

I adore them. 4 minutes in boiling water. No inserting crosses into their bases or any of that rubbish. Just boil them for 4 minutes.

Lovely, the best ever vegetable!

Steaming them is the way forward, though I have seen a chef on TV recently chopping them up, separating the leaves like you would do with cabbage, and stir frying with a bit of garlic and pancetta or bacon.

Now that sounds good

I do them similarly , but halve or quarter them , and add chestnuts to the above recipe .

[The Brighton Bear]
