As you’ll have likely gathered...I’m pretty into Christmas on the whole and I get right into it...apart from the Brussels Sprouts! At best I hope for them to taste of nothing so I don’t get the horrid after taste! Anyone else?!🤷♀️
When @itsmeadamball challenged me to find a recipe which could convert a NON Brussel eater...I was SCEPTICAL 🤨
Let’s be honest; the only ingredient that was ever going to save me here was the yellow stuff of dreams 🧀
So here it is...my suggested recipe for making Brussel Sprouts not only palatable but dare I say it...ENJOYABLE 🤔
Cheesy Brussels
Ingredients
600g Brussel Sprouts
50g butter
50ml milk
75g finely grated pecorino
Black pepper
Clean up the sprouts by removing outer leaves and trimming the bottom. Then chop each one in half.
Boil them for 3 - 4 minutes - personally I prefer them al dente so I stay closer to 3 minutes and drain immediately.
Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the Brussels and milk until it’s bubbling. Then add the cheese and cook for a few minutes until the cheese has become a sauce with a few stringy bits in there. Don’t worry about the odd lump of cheese, it adds to the flavour!
Season with black pepper. Eat, enjoy & change your relationship with Brussel Sprouts forevermore.
It’s a super simple recipe but to keep things even easier when creating your Christmas dinner I’d suggest cooking the Brussels in advance and creating/adding the sauce etc at the last minute...
Love & food ❤️🍴
