I LOVE brussel sprouts. My teenaged daughter likes them so much, when I bring them to the table she always greets them, "hello my friends". Of course she then proceeds to gobble them up, something she'd never do to her "real" (human) friends.
Countingdown, have you tried them roasted? I halve them, put them in a pot with a couple of inches of water, par boil them for about 8 minutes. Then I lay them on a roasting tray which was coated with cooking spray. I add finely chopped garlic and onion (sometimes just garlic and onion powder), sea salt and lots of cooking spray. Place in a 400 degree oven for about 20 - 30 minutes, turning once or twice, till they get nice and browned. All crispy and crunchy-ish on the outside - soft and buttery on the inside. MAJOR yumm.
And don't even get me started on green beans - or cucumbers.
