You can remove the outer leaves from ageing Brussels sprouts and cook as normal.
Brussels sprouts cooked for extended periods always develop a bitter strong taste. They are best when cooked quickly.
I like mine par boiled whole, then quartered and tossed through onion and garlic sautéd in Olive oil and turmeric powder.

I just like mine steamed. Never ever buy the frozen. Always get fresh if you can, trim away the bad leaves and steam.OzEclipse wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 3:54 am Hi Gary,

I then slather them with lots of butter and a dash a pepper. Could make a meal out those alone.

Re: Show Us Your Great Meals This Week And Your Recipes
That's ok. I hated them when I was young probably related to eating some that were boiled to death. The taste you associate with them is caused by overcooking. Cooked properly, they are delicious.

With cooler weather setting in the slow cooker and the oven will start seeing a lot more use as the salad days of summer come to an end.

Re: Show Us Your Great Meals This Week And Your Recipes
https://theconversation.com/the-science ... coli-68168Other genes are involved in determining preference or avoidance of bitter flavours. For example, a compound known as PROP (6-n-propylthiouracil) is commonly found in green vegetables such as broccoli, and contributes to creating a bitter taste. People who have the gene for a bitter receptor known as TAS2R38 are able to taste the compound, either mildly or very strongly. Those without the gene for this receptor are unable to taste it. This explains why some people like their greens more than others.

Re: Show Us Your Great Meals This Week And Your Recipes
Serves 4
Ready in 2 hours 15 minutes
500g lean beef braising steak
Low-calorie cooking spray
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
2 tsp tomato purée
2 sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves picked
1 dried or fresh bay leaf
2 large carrots, thickly sliced
400g can chopped tomatoes
500ml hot beef stock
50ml dark ale (we used Bishops Finger)
10g fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves chopped
1kg floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper or king Edward, peeled and chopped into chunks
200g fat-free natural yogurt
400g Brussels sprouts, large ones halved
There is one main alteration to this recipe for our particular preference;
(1) Brussels sprouts have definitely been left out.
1. Season the beef with a little salt. Spray a large, lidded, non-stick saucepan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium-high heat. Fry the beef in batches until browned, then transfer to a plate.
2. In the same pan, froth onion and celery over a medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until starting to soften - add a splash of water if they start to stick. Add the tomato purée, thyme and bay leaf, and fry for a further 2 minutes. Add the beef, carrots, tomatoes and stock, and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over a low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender enough to be cut with a spoon.
3. Discard the bay leaf and stir through the ale and parsley. Cook for a further minute, then remove from the heat and season to taste.
4. While the casserole is cooking, boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain, then mash, stir in the yogurt and season. Keep warm over a low heat until ready to serve.
5. If you wish to have Brussels sprouts, boil them for 2-3 minutes, or until just tender, then drain.
6. Once the casserole is cooked, serve with the mash and sprouts, and top with a twist of black pepper.

I love those stewing cuts when slow cooked. I have read that it takes a minimum of 1h45m simmering for the gristle & sinew to break down. Less than that and you have a tough chewy meat. I usually simmer these types of dishes for 2.5-3hrs. In this case, I agree with leaving out the Brussels sprouts. The long cook will make them bitter. I would add them in to the pot just for the last 10 mins!
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Show Us Your Great Meals This Week And Your Recipes
Right, no yeast. This was originally an Irish soda bread recipe. With the oregano I threw the Irish part out or the Italian part in. I like the bread a bit dense so I don't use much soda. Too much soda makes it bitter. This is super easy and quick to make.OzEclipse wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 10:39 pmLooks good Henk. No yeast? Just baking soda to get it to rise?
