Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan
As I mentioned earlier, our veg plot has suffered greatly this year because of our unintentional neglect. Other than the abundance of tomatoes in the summer, we have one consolation for the winter. Brussels sprouts. Just like chestnuts, sprouts remind us that winter is just around the corner. Do not despair! When Brussels sprouts are prepared properly, they are just as desirable as the next vegetable, if not more so.
P.S. I am submitting this recipe to Andrea‘s Grow Your Own monthly food blogging event.
