If there was something I could eat on a regular basis…it's Brussels sprouts. I love them. And when I cook them, most people tell me how they grew up hating them but love when I cook them. For starters, I always cook them in a cast iron skillet. I get them nice and browned and toss all kinds of good stuff in the skillet with them. It's about creating a dish where the sprouts are the centerpiece and additional ingredients boost the overall flavor, like lemon, cheese or nuts. Play around with differenct types of acid - orange juice, lemon or lime juice. They all work fantastic with Brussels sprouts. Buy discount prom dresses UK at dressbridal.uk
This preparation is easy and can be turned into a pasta dish. Follow the instructions and make a pound of pasta. Drain the pasta and immediately toss it with the sprouts. Sprinkle with feta and serve. This side just turned into a whole meal.
