sprouts

[iLB]

so how do u cook your sprouts? if you eat sprouts at xmas at all?

 

[BigonaBianchi]

I have been volunteered not to eat any this year

 

[Baggy]

Steamed, mixed with bits of fried bacon.

Don't let them go cold otherwise you will be always "À la recherche du temperatures perdu" - and don't call your sprouts Marcel before you wave them goodbye...

Boiled, no salt as they come out of the dirt anyway - plenty of minerals in them. Usually from frozen too. Have heard a few peeps say they nuke, ahem microwave I mean, them as it keeps the flavour better, then they boil or steam for the second half of their cooking time.

Nigella knows how - sprouts I mean

Sprouts are ****ing rotten. The one food which made me boke everytime when I was a kid. I eat them now 'cos they are good for you' but still don't enjoy them.

Quick steam - 10 mins. Then shove them in a WOK/pan with a bit of Sesame oil and some sesame seeds for a couple of mins.....wonderful............really nice.....

i enjoy my sprouts personally, just boiled with a cross cut in the bottom (and plenty of gravy of course)

 

[tdr1nka]

Steamed(with a dash of vinegar in the water)but still crisp, butter & pepper!

 

[Saddle bum]

Food of the gods. Par boiled then finished off in butter with walnut bits.

Nom, nom, nom............

They normally "ripen off" at the tail end of the digestive tract at about 6:00pm...................

The only things I can recommend with any sort of sprout connection is,

Sprout Mask Replica, or The Sprouts Of Wrath both by Robert Rankin, very funny books indeed.

Steamed, mixed with bits of fried bacon.

+1

Also delicious with some chunks of chestnuts in too.. and a buttered glaze...

 

[colly]

Steamed and ever so slightly crunchy.

Never tried any vinegar in the water. What's the difference?

 

[tdr1nka]

Vinegar brings out a bit more flavour. Yum.

Fresh not frozen, crossed too, steamed to perfection add a knob of butter and Robert is your mother's brother.
