I agree, baked brussels sprouts are easiest and best

What a find. It’s fun seeing how inventive you are in using them. My garden is a mess of dead plants now, with quite a few tomatoes laying on the ground that were not there when I quit paying attention. I am terrible at cleaning up the garden in the fall and every spring I pay the price for it!

I have been trying to use brussel sprouts in a recipe but have never gotten around to buying them. Will surely get a few the next time I go to the store to try out these recipes. I have been experimenting like crazy these days

Such a wonderful collection! All of them look really good. I’m very curious about the Kootu. I don’t think I ever had it in any Indian restaurant I’ve been to, and it would be really nice to try it!
Thanks a lot for participating to the event, and with such a great contribution

kootu is one of those dishes that you will only find in homes ! very rarely will you find it in restaurants. actually i haven’t seen it in the US. –jai

hi i liked ur presentation….ur pics r too good

Thanks for the lovely entry..I almost expected Bee to send in her favorite chocolate side dish she likes. :)..anyway will expect them for the chocolate theme..:angel:

brussels look lovely..as usual your pictures and presentation fantastic..:horn:..great going..

love the look of that baked dish. tell me, does kootu mask the taste of the sprouts or do the sprouts affect the kootu?

the kootu masks everything.

aww love this khazana of brussels sprouts recipes… and as always the pics….all rock

Love this post! A lot!

I’ve cooked the koottu and the baked sprouts before, but never tried out any chinese flavors with brussel sprouts - sounds truly delightful

hmm…nice. the baked ones looks the best!

I have to be honest i am not at all a brussels sprouts fan. Last time when i went to a Iperes ( a town in Belgium) we had to pass a village and in few of the fields they had this full bunch of brussels sprouts plants and they were beautiful to see and i was saying to my husband opity i don’t have the camera with me other wise i would have stopped the car and took few snaps.
But i

WOW! I do love brussel sprouts and I really like that Indian style one. I will admit I have never had an Indian version of brussel sprouts before! You rock!

I love the them too, like mini me cabbages!:D
I just make Indian style stir fry,simple and tasty. Love the photos!:)

Got some brussel sprouts in my fridge. will try the indian style. Everything looks good. Thanks for sharing.

Bee,

The Kootu approach looks promising, will have to try them with the ones in my fridge.

A few days ago, the food section of either NYTimes or Washington Post had a smashing roasted Brussel Sprouts recipe. I am right now in love with Brussel Sprouts.

i havent tried these ones… but the pics sure make me feel yum@!

Loos great! have never tried B.sprouts.. time i gave it a whirl!!

Brussels sprouts in a thoran is good too(if cooked properly)

I like the baked version the best :-)
A very Happy Diwali to u Bee and jai :-)

I’ve never baked Brussels sprouts, but I do them in a similar way on the stovetop. Cut in half & placed in the pan, cut side down, in a little olive oil, sprinkled with salt and left to fry until the cut side starts to caramelise. Then I give them a good stir and add a little hot water, just so they can soften in the steam. When the water has all boiled off, they should be ready. Mmmm. Stunnimg photos, btw

I did not try brussels sprouts previously. Those tiny cabbage like ones tempt me to buy some and cook, but my hubby behind me scares me saying that they smell pretty odd. This time I think I should dare, cook some and see how smelly they are.

You have quite a find there! I wish that I had found some little surprises while taking down the dead leaves and stems in my garden, but alas, not this year.

I grew up with the boiled-until-they-were-dead kind of brussel sprouts, which would turn anyone off :bruised:, but I must say you have some interesting variations here that I will definitely try! Thanks for a great entry for Grow Your Own #4!

gr8 recipes!! i love brussel sprous. thanx for sharing

Bee, all the three dishes is delicious. I recently started using these veggies, like it very much. Roasting in oven is such a nice idea. thanks.

lovely photograps and brussel sprouts looks yummy and healthy

I love brussel sprouts - my husband hates them. The only way I have found to feed them to him (and here you want to close your ears because there are so many no-nos I committed):
I was making gobi manchurian, and ended with more dipping batter after the florets were gone. So I quickly defrosted some frozen brussel sprouts (not all of us can grow our own) in cold water, and dipped those in the batter and fried them up (shock, horror):no:

Can you believe he actually asked for more?

BTW, thank you again for the link to Trupti’s recipe. I made the chana-bateta nu shaak and we loved it - and of course I blogged about it

Beautiful photos… In particular I like the chinese style sprouts and the baked ones

Such amazing photos! A great post and very evocative. Don’t Brussel sprouts look amazing on the stalk.

Happy Diwali Guys,
I make stir fry Indian style. They taste really good. I should try to bake them sometime.

The third way is the best way! Just tried it this morning..yumm!

Thanks Guys

glad you liked it, janani. - b.

oh the de-brussels sprouted veins look like they belong in a mini-elephant graveyard from lion king:)

Just curious, for I’ve never seen one. Does Brussels sprouts come from trees or shrubs? Must be delicious, well any green vegetable is delicious for me. Thanks.
