Notes

Even if you are not a huge fan of brussels sprouts, give this a try . When brussels are in season , cooked until just tender and finished off in the fry pan they are really quite mild , with a 'nutty' flavor. The chilli is optional but if you like spicy ... keep it in !!

  • Anything that can get my family to eat different veggies is great. I think that a lot of people have had their Brussels sprouts boiled too long.

    • Exactly! they dont need to be boiled and boiled !

  • what a great way to use an under utilised vegie of the brussel sprouts – my husband loves brussel sprouts and I think he would really love this recipe so thank you very much for sharing :)

    • I agree – an under utilised vegetable and they are so good for you and so yummy. Happy to eat a bowl full of them with a drizzle of butter. I have also eaten them with roasted pine nuts – yummy!
