You have to get brussel sprouts soft to be appetizing. Used to just steam them, cut in half, and butter. They're alright, mostly good for you. Then I started sauteing in olive oil with chopped garlic & onion with some Adobo w/cumin for Caribbean meals. Then came the cheese sauce! Everything good wif 'at!
Night before last I has doing Talapia for a Cajun style supper. I did the halved brussel sprouts in a skillet with about 1/2" water cut side down, shook some syvia's Great Greens/Adobo w/cumin/Cajun seasoning, and let water cook off. The plan was to add olive oil, saute with onions & garlic. But I kept sampling the loose leaves and they tasted so good I ate most of my brussel sprouts before the fish and red beans/rice was done
