Brussels sprouts. Something I didn’t like when I was young, I should believe my mother. But I can’t remember that I ever ate Brussels sprouts when I was little so I honestly wouldn’t know it.

Maybe it’s just a thing you know, kids don’t like Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts are ‘yuck’ so kids don’t eat it.

But now I know better. You too? Because sprouts are very tasty! P prefers them mashed with potatoes, I eat my Brussels sprouts roasted. It must have been about 8 years ago since I made ​​cooked Brussels sprouts for the first time. Brussels sprouts stir-fried with raisins and almonds. Something like that. I got that recipe from a recipe card, I must have picked it up from a well-known Dutch supermarket. It tasted yummy! Especially if you know how to combine the slightly earthy and bitter flavor of the sprouts.

  1. Love them roasted. I saw on Lidia’s Italy where she removed the core and kept the leaves, then cooked. The texture and taste was so different.

    1. Sounds like a lot of work, to remove the cores 😉 But I’m intrigued to try the different taste!
