Brussels sprouts are one of the easiest veggies to prepare, found at your local farmers’ market. They have a slightly nutty, cabbage-like flavor and are really versatile – they can be steamed, roasted, sauteed, seared, shredded and braised. Nutritionally speaking, these brassicas are an excellent source of vitamin K and vitamin C.
Years ago, I would purchase them frozen and throw them in the microwave for a fast and easy accompaniment to lunch – those days are long gone…
Pan Fried Garlic Brussels Sprouts have become a family favorite – our 14 year old daughter especially likes them. Typically, we enjoy them with eggs or as a side to our main meal.
Enjoy!
