Stalks of brussels sprouts standing upright against the barren ground of an early winter vegetable garden are a wondrous sight. These delectable members of the cabbage family get sweeter and tastier in the cold after a frost. But some people find their flavour a bit too strong. These recipes just might convince the skeptics that brussels sprouts are indeed a vegetable worthy of praise.

Ingredients

4 cups (1 L) brussels sprouts (about 1 lb/500 g)

2 tbsp (30 mL) extra-virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice

Preparation

Thinly slice each sprout lengthwise into rounds. In skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry garlic and salt until golden, about 2 minutes. Add sprouts and 1/2 cup (125 mL) water. Cover and increase heat to medium-high; steam until tender crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Uncover; sauté until liquid is evaporated and sprouts are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss with lemon juice.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Serving(s): 4 to 6
