Once upon a time I’d have a big gnarly allotment sprout that’s been around the block a few times and gets ‘Nam flashbacks. Now I’m buying packets of pretty little sprouts hand curated by Waitrose. Why would where the sprouts originated from make a difference? Clean them, put them in a microwavable dish with a very small amount of water, cover and nuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It was more a size and age thing, I’ve never really had a Vietnamese sprout. Smaller is better, it’s a scientific fact in many areas of life. I’m all about the dainty little sprout now, rather than the stunted cabbage the size of a golf ball. It’s just one of those crops we’ve decided ain’t worth the bother, easier to buy them when you want them, than nurture a sprout stick through the winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted January 8 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8 I used to hate Brussels sprouts. They had the unique thermodynamic property of always seeming to be cold when appearing on my plate regardless of how quickly they had been transferred there from the steamer. Then I discovered roasting them. I halve them, toss them in some olive oil in a plastic bag, then season with salt, pepper and grated parmesan and put them in the oven for ~ 1/2 hour at 375F. They're now one of my favorite vegetables as long as they're roasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
