Brilliant Brussels Sprouts Recipes
The time when we only cooked Brussels sprouts is in the past for sure. The whole house would smell like sprouts for days and the sprouts wouldn’t taste like anything.
All the vitamins in the sprouts were long gone from the cooking water. Sprouts are like mini cabbages and do not really need to be cooked.
When you finely slice your cabbage and stir-fry you do not even need water. The same applies to sprouts.
Ways To Prepare Brussels Sprouts
You can prepare your sprouts in multiple ways:
- Cook – you can still cook them in water for 8-10 minutes.
- Steam – half your sprouts and put them in a steamer for 8-10 minutes. You will contain the vitamins and the bite.
- Sauté – sauté the sprouts in some butter on medium heat to let them get soft slowly.
- Stir-fry – put some oil in the pan and let the pan go really hot so you can stir-fry the sprouts in less than 10 minutes.
Do You Wash Brussels Sprouts Before Cooking?
Yes! Fresh Brussels sprouts can have dirt and or tiny insects in the outer leaves. That is why you can remove these outer leaves and trim the ends.
Further, wash the sprouts in a colander with cold water before cooking.
