Roasted beets, goat cheese, and endive tossed with a vinaigrette. Missing out Count.

Great vegetable.

Roasted are the tits. Or you can steam them with butter and seasonings. Blanched brussel sprouts can work great in a salad.

Im going way out on a limb with these Brussel Sprouts, but beets is where I draw the line!


There's a world of difference between school cafeteria canned beets and fresh beets. I've made the salad from Lilette with the roasted beets a number of times. I never thought I'd describe something with beets as "heavenly", but that's what I think of that salad.

Serves 4 as a side dish
1 pound frozen Brussels sprouts (3 cups)
2 tablespoons frozen peas, defrosted and at room temperature
2 tablespoons heavy cream, warmed
3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
A few drops of fresh lemon juice

Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for about 8 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.

Meanwhile, place the peas and cream in a mini chopper or spice grinder and puree until smooth. Drain the Brussels sprouts and shake off the excess water.

Melt the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Add the Brussels sprouts, sprinkle with salt, and swirl the pan from time to time to coat the sprouts with butter and brown them evenly.

Sauté for about 3 minutes, or until the outer leaves are just beginning to color.

Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a bowl, top with the pea mixture, and stir to coat the sprouts evenly.

Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.

This might be good over an Angel Hair pasta too... Maybe add a few more tablespoons of the heavy cream?

I made something almost exactly like the recipe below and it was very good.

A little parmesan sprinkled on top doesn't hurt, either.

Roasted brussel sprouts are awesome.

I sauteed some in a skillet with olive the other day and they were awesome. They have a sweet taste when "blackened" just a touch. Hands down, my fave veggie!

I used to have the leave the house when my Dad cooked mustard greens. Felt the same when he ate boiled crawfish in my presence. Now, the smell of both is alluring, to me. I love those aromas.

I shouldn't have looked. It changed everything in addition to grossing me out. I may never be the same.

Oh, well... think I'll just make some brussel sprouts.

love them roasted and toward the end of roasting, splash some balsamic vinegar on them and let it go a bit in the oven.


Adding capers with the balsamic is damn good.
