Holiday Recipes - Day 4

Okay...I'm cheating today. This isn't a recipe I've tried, but I want to soooo much. If only anyone else in my family would love them like I'm sure I would!! :)

Brussel sprouts with basil and garlic. And here's the link. :)www.blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/03/brussels-sprouts-with-basil-and-garlic.html (sorry...for some odd reason, I couldn't get the link to show up...happy cutting and pasting...)

It looks wonderful and hopefully I'll get a chance to try it too!

I have no idea what brussel sprouts are, so I'm off to google it. :)

By the way, have you tried putting http:// at the beginning of the link?

I know what brussel sprouts are, and I used to dread eating them as a kid! I haven't had them in ages, I'm curious if I would like them now.

I have a great tip for those of you who are leary of eating brussel sprouts.
If you cut of the stems on the brussel sprouts and then slice then in half lengthwise. Cut out the hearts of the brussel sprouts so that you dont have a hard center in them. Then flip them over cut side down and slice them so that the brussel sprout shreds. It tastes delicious this way. The bitterness of the brussel sprout is contained in the center core. If you cut that out then they become much more enjoyable. My husband hated brussel sprouts until I made them this way. I cook them in a hot skillet with 1bs of Olive Oil and a little salt and 2Tbs of lemon juice. He loves them now and we eat them 1-2 times a week.
