We all have a food that is just down right gross to us not matter what. For my Mom and many others I know it is the brussel sprout.
For me I love them! I think the flavor is deeeeelicious and there is so much to do with it. So I thought it would be a fun challenge to get my Mom to eat them and I did!
Not only are they yummy, they are also so good for you. Each tiny little sprout contains three times the amount of vitamin C than an orange and a great source of vitamin D.
Always up for a challenge and voila!
Brussel sprouts my Mom will eat! She liked them so much that we are serving them for Christmas dinner and she doesn't care if anyone else likes them.
What made them so good? Simplicity and fresh ingredients of course.
I simply sliced the trimmed brussel sprouts, sauteed them in olive oil and butter with fresh garlic, thyme form the garden, and slivered almonds. I added a little white wine and butter at the end. Seasoned with salt and pepper.
I realize I did not invent this way of cooking brussel sprouts, but who ever did is onto something. The best part is that you can add whatever you have around. It makes a great side dish or salad.
So what food makes you cringe?
Me? Mayonnaise.... it literately will make me gag.... cant even do aioli...
Fortunately I like pretty much anything else.
