Roasted brussel sprouts and garlic cloves for dinner

Recommended Posts

Brussel sprouts are delicious. Too bad they ruin them with bacon half the time :mad:

 

My wife roasts them with honey, balsamic vinegar and cran-raisins. But anything is better with garlic. :thumbsup:

Brussels Sprouts are my favorite veggie. I usually roast them with potatoes and carrots. Add a quarter inch or so of beef stock to the roasting tray. If you cut them in half they cook more evenly and crisp up nicely. I once roasted then with French onion soup stock and it was awesome.

I don't think I've ever eaten a brussel sprout but recently bought a bag of plums and made the mistake of storing them in a warm, humid room and they all ripened too fast. I ate six last night and after three cups of coffee this morning I'm afraid to fart.

You guys are just rubbing it in the face of FBG. "We can post recipes and you can't. Ha ha."

 

 

How to boil water

 

 

Directions
  1. Open your cupboard or wherever it is you store your cookware.
  2. Locate a 12-quart stockpot. If you do not have a 12-quart stockpot, you may use whatever size pot you have; in that event, keep in mind that serving size here is 1 cup and there are 4 cups in a quart. Do the math.
  3. Place your pot in the sink under the tap. If you have never used a sink before, it is the large depression in your counter top. (If you live with someone else, they may have filled it with dirty dishes; in this case, wash them or simply remove them from the sink and place them in the oven — someone else will eventually discover them there and wash them.).
  4. Turn the cold-water knob to the "on" position. Some people (like my dad) prefer to let the water run a little bit. This is optional but encouraged — if it's a hot day or someone has previously used the "hot" water knob, the warmer water will eventually be replaced by truly cold water.
  5. Fill stockpot to within a couple inches of the rim.
  6. Lift stockpot from sink and transfer to stove. (Although appearances may vary, the stove is the thing with 4 or more circular metal bands on top of it; alternately, it may be a completely flat black glass surface. If you are unsure, ask your family, roommate, or neighbor for guidance.).
  7. Find knob on stove that corresponds to the "burner" you have placed your pot on. In addition to words like "Right Front" or "Left Rear," there are usually little pictures near the knobs to indicate position.
  8. Turn knob to "High" and wait until water boils. Depending on strength of your stove and amount of water, the boiling time may vary. Note: DO NOT WATCH THE POT; it will never boil in the event that you do.
  9. Boiled water may be used for any number of applications. Serve hot but do not drink.
  10. Alternate methods:
  11. Depending on water application, you may want to salt the water. Do this after the water has come to a boil.
  12. Placing a lid on the pot will help it boil faster, with the additional benefit of blocking water from your line of sight, which, as stated above, inhibits the boiling process.

In general, my mom is far above average as a cook. I was probably the only nine year old eating cheese souffle after Sunday services. - and not today's cheesy so to speak cop out with the little mini ramekins. We're talking a full-on 12 in puffy as hell amazing cheese souffle. She was great with beef wellington and all other sorts of things.

 

However, she thoroughly missed the boat on brussel sprouts. She would boil them whole. And good God on a cracker, the house would smell, they would taste awful, you couldn't put enough salt and pepper on them. It took me a very very very long time. Probably 30 years before I ever tried another brussel sprout.

Brussels are those things I hated as a kid but are so good when roasted and done up well.

I think most people feel that way. They’re a great example of how your palate changes over time, and one reason I roll my eyes when people act like they’d rather die than change their diet.
