Need help finding a Brussels Sprout recipe

Or I lost the recipe card from Publix, and need the assistance of the teaming millions to save Christmas Dinner.

About two years ago, the grocery store, publix had published a meal idea recipe card. The main course was rather forgettable, but it also had a side dish made from Brussels Sprouts that tasted good. (I know, right?) I cannot find the card, so I am turning to the only group of folks who can help me.

Here is what I remember. You saute halved sprouts and shallots in fresh bacon fat and then sprinkle a grated hard cheese over it while hot, so it gets all melty.

I remember the cheese was from the deli (not dairy) case and was kind of pricey.

If anyone has a copy or can find a copy or can find a similar recipe, I will be very grateful, and will raise a glass of wine to your name. The good wine, even.[sup]1[/sup]

Was it Jamie Oliver’s recipe? He just calls for Parmesan or some other hard cheese. But olive oil, not bacon.

Mrs Magill just reminded me that it was

Maybe the brussel sprouts recipe on this page?

I’m a gonna let you finish, but this is the best Brussels sprouts recipe of all time. All time! I am forbidden from showing up at Thanksgiving without them. I usually can’t get wild mushrooms, so I just get a the mushroom blend from Publix.

The best BS recipe EVER!

  1. Take brussell sprouts out of package.
  2. Place them in the garbage.
  3. Make a good mac&cheese instead.

Dammit! I came here to make suggest the same thing, just replace mac and cheese with “open a beer”

Poor Brussels sprouts. :frowning: One of my favorite vegetables when prepared in the myriad of ways that it’s actually good (i.e. not boiling the crap out of them.)

10

Are Brussels Sprouts one of those genetic things like CIlantro?

11

That’s it! No wonder I couldn’t find it, I was looking for it by itself.

Thank you.

12

Try that creamed Brussels sprout recipe above. That’s good eating.

13

You’re welcome. :slight_smile: Being off work this week and next, this is the only thing I put my librarian skills to use for today. :wink:

14

I have no idea. But I have no love for any of the brassicas.

15

Well, step 3 is just gravy. Insert your choice.

Seriously, the OP should be re-titled “Need Help - I’m thinking of trying Brussels Sprouts again. How do I stop?”.

16

Turns out Brussels sprouts taste has the genetic component

17

I looooove Brussels Sprouts!

18

I like eating Brussels sprouts pretending they’re whole heads of cabbage and I am a giant.

If I remember correctly, I think so-called “supertasters” in general also have a greater aversion to brassica/cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, etc.) This is separate from the PTC angle of this article.

(I taste PTC just fine–as do most people-- and I love Brussels sprouts. I am not a supertaster, though.)

Cut the sprouts in half vertically and core them. Steam the leaves until tender and then saute them in bacon fat and some finely chopped garlic and sweet onions or shallots. Season with salt and pepper and stir in some crumbled bacon. Viola! :o
