11.01.2022 Brussels sprouts. . Were a big fan of these sweet & nutty, vitamin C packed miniature cabbage buds, when well cooked! And the colder months are the perfect time to enjoy this hearty & vibrant green veg! Were currently loving them gently fried in butter (nuttelex), waiting until the butter is gently frothing before adding them in, salted, then cooked for a few minutes & drizzled generously with pure maple syrup & further fried until decadent, firm, brown-charred caramelis...ed bites of tasty goodness are created! This is certainly not a low kj snack, but it sure is a delicious treat! We love making treat foods vegetable based for the benefit of also being micronutrient dense as opposed to many alternate sweet treats we may otherwise reach for! TIPS for loving cooked Brussels sprouts: 1. Dont overcook! Brussels sprouts should be plump & retain some firmness. You cant make friends with a soggy Brussels sprout. 2. Remove the stalk and chop your sprouts in half lengthways. Brussels sprouts naturally contain glucosinolates which are broken down into bitter tasting thiocyanates during cooking. Cutting in half helps release these bitter components out of the veg during cooking. 3. Salt your Brussels sprouts (we use mineral-packed Himalayan salt, finely ground). Salt further reduces the bitter taste of the Brussels sprout. 4. Eat during the colder months, when Brussels sprouts are naturally sweeter in the cool climate. Enjoy!
