The alien : Brussel

Oh the little cabbage head known as the Brussel Sprout.

Everyone knows this little green alien, kids hate them and some adults even fear them! But there is nothing to fear because they are so tasty. Ok, Ok, I know some of you have been tormented by Brussels boiled for so long that they are more grey than green and turn into baby food in your mouth, so I understand. But the time has come to learn how to make these little cabbage heads yourself!

Step #1: Buy brussel sprouts, Take them home, read this post

Step #2: Wash brussels, trim ends and peel off any sad looking leaves.

Step #3: Roast or Steam until fork tender (which means as soft as you'd like)

Step #4: Eat them and be amazed that they taste as good as they look





I tossed these in some oil, dropped them on the pan, seasoned them with a little sea salt and pepper (not sea pepper). Then I roasted them at 400F for about 15 mins. Roasting them gives them deeper flavour with some crispy leaves on the edges. When they were done I put them in a bowl with some Teriyaki tofu cubes and some Daiya cheese. Mmmmmm
