Brussel Sprouts
Though much maligned, the humble Brussel Sprout can teach us all a valuable lesson w/r/t the local war on terror. Though ripped from the branch with an odd, nutty tang that verges on grotesque, the B-Sprout can stand up to some hard-core cooking and soak in some subtle nuances of delicious. Though borne of a communal hysteria, the local war on terror has been able to channel fear into fearsome.
The warriors collected on Facebook were asked to submit their methods of taming the sprout and they responded with some inventive and compelling approaches.
It's never easy to pick a favorite. One recipe stood out for it's completeness,
it's newness and it's not being submitted by a blood relative. My favorite,
though untested, recipe from the recent call to action was submitted by my
good friend and dedicated terror warrior, Cate:
“I enjoy them most when grilled. A good old-fashioned charcoal grill is best, but a fire in a city garbage can will suffice.
“One first soaks some wooden skewers in water. Then one trims up the
tasty morsels, tosses them in olive oil+s&p+garlic+some dry mustard,
and skewers them. then one cooks them over the flame until delicious. Perhaps
one might sprinkle them with Parmesan cheese before serving. Heavenly.”
