If you avoid brussels sprouts because of their strong flavour or dense texture, give this recipe a try. Because the leaves of a brussels sprout cook so much faster than whole heads, the flavour doesn't get too strong and it's further enhanced by the addition of Quebec maple syrup and Canadian whisky.

Ingredients

8 cups  (2 L)  brussels sprouts, about 1-1/4 lb (650 g)
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  butter
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  maple syrup
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  Canadian rye whisky
1 tsp  (5 mL)  finely grated orange peel
Salt and pepper

Preparation

Cut stem ends from brussels sprouts and separate heads into individual leaves. Boil in a pot of boiling salted water for 3 to 4 minutes or until almost tender. Drain well. (Make Ahead: Can be made ahead to this point, refreshed under cold water, drained and reserved in refrigerator for up to 1 day).

Heat butter in a skillet set over medium-high heat. Add maple syrup and whisky and bring to a boil. Add reserved brussels sprout leaves. Toss to coat. Stir in orange peel and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until leaves are tender.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Tip: If leaves are too hard to separate near the core, quarter core and add to leaves.
