Once in nursery school they tried to make me eat Brussels Sprouts, it did not go well. I would add some fresh chopped garlic.

Hi Gary,
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.

regards

Joe

I just like mine steamed. Never ever buy the frozen. Always get fresh if you can, trim away the bad leaves and steam.
I then slather them with lots of butter and a dash a pepper. Could make a meal out those alone. :drool:

Sorry guys, but neither Sophia nor I like Brussels sprouts (or Garlic) so I can't join in with your celebration of them - ugh!

So if I ever show any of our future meals on here, you certainly won't see any sprouts :lol:

Hi Vanessa,

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.

We frequently have roasted 'sprouts but my wife got hit with a busy travel schedule and a big pot of soup was the least complicated option.

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.

It is interesting how peoples food taste varies. I use to deliver for Dominoes Pizza. Could never get use to the smell of black olives on pizza. It is a terrible smell. Smells like burnt candy.

Hello Gary and all. I went through the same thing last night with our green beans. Since it is just the two of us they sat in the refrigerator for several days. I got them out and cut down the best beans and they still turned out great. As to Brussel sprouts, I do NOT like them. Although native to the Mediterranean region with other cabbage species, Brussels sprouts first appeared in northern Europe during the 5th century, later being cultivated in the 13th century near Brussels, Belgium, from which they derived their name. Its group name Gemmifera (or lowercase and italicized gemmifera as a variety name) means gemmiferous (bud-producing). So this must be a late newcomer to the cabbage family from Mother Nature? To me they taste woody and bitter. I was fortunate to attend a book signing event in Orlando years ago with one of my cooking gurus/heroes Alton Brown and got an autographed book from him. Also, on one of his "Good Eats" DVDs, a nutritionist was explaining the many varieties of the cabbage family and SHE didn't like Brussel sprouts either! And on the old TV show "Leave It to Beaver", Beaver Cleaver would leave his Brussel sprouts under his chair at the supper table. I love all kinds of vegetables, even creamed Kohlrabi, but you can keep the Brussel sprouts and artichokes. However my wife Sheri loves them so I made this dish for her on Mother's Day. Roasted Brussel sprouts with a sprinkle of olive oil, kosher salt, and ground black pepper and she loved them. You always have to try to please everybody.

We taste what our genes allow us to taste.
Other 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.

Beef & Ale Casserole

beef-ale-casserole.jpg

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.

The Beef & Ale Casserole is delicious. We have just both cleaned our plates and Sophia was very impressed with the result :D

We now have some left over for another day.

Vanessa,

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.
Joe

Fresh bread for breakfast. 5 cups of white flour, 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of almond flour (I normally don't do that but it was left over), a hand full of Quaker oats, 4 cups of buttermilk, salt, lots of oregano, some olive oil, a bit of baking soda, then 45 minutes in the oven.

Looks good Henk. No yeast? Just baking soda to get it to rise? So does that mean you don't need to let the dough rest?

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.

An early dinner was made before an over due trip to my dark site. Chicken wings stewed with tomatoes, paprika, garlic, thyme, cumin, and sea salt. Growing up in New York City I had a lot of Puerto Rican friends. So plantains are not new to me. Saw a ripe bunch at the Walmart. Browned a few of them up with some Kerrygold Irish butter. Left click the images.
