    My dad used to try to make me & my sister eat brussels sprouts, but he would boil them and we were like 6 years old so we refused. One day he threw a fit and said, "It's just a vegetable! Even the animals will eat them!" and he tried to feed them to our guinea pigs. The pigs wouldn't eat them either. I have never seen a grown man so enraged at tiny animals.

      Burnt food causing cancer is extremely unlikely but theoretically a possibility (lab mice given extremely high & sustained doses get cancer) and toxins called acrylamides build up (in wayyy lower levels than has ever been tested for cancer) when starch in food burns. Lots of research has now been carried out specifically looking for evidence of acrylamides & burnt food causing cancer in humans and none has been found. None.
      Even if evidence is found, the effect will be so negligible it'll never outweigh the risk of dying from something like choking on a boiled sprout while reading this comment.

    How we prepare Brussels sprouts in Belgium in classic Belgian-French cuisine:
    Step 1: do not cut them in half but rather make a cross incision at the bottom.
    Step 2: Boil salted water and put the sprouts in the boiling water for 5 mins. After 5 min you cool them down with cold water until they are completely cooled down , this preserves the colour, mitigates the odour and keeps them crispy. The french cooking term is 'Blancher'
    Step 3 : Melt butter and stew them for another 10-15 minutes in a pan with a thick bottom and no lid .(depending on how roasted you like them)
    Step 4 : My grandmother always added smoked bacon in small snippets for extra flavour.
    -Brussels sprouts taste the best when they are harvested from the field when it is freezing, it adds a lot to the flavour, they are one of the few vegetables that stay on the field in winter.
    -Cutting them in half will save time perhaps but you will lose the flavour (the stem not the leaves contains the flavour)
    -Preparing sprouts takes time and there are no shortcuts just like cauliflower and other members of that family.
    -The 'Blancher' part is essential when preparing them, it makes a huge difference in taste and colour. This blancher is the reason they taste better in
    restaurants because they do not skip on this part.
    -Brussels sprouts, when served need to have a fresh vivid green colour (and not yellowish), crispy exterior and the interior should melt like butter.

LOL I've been disappointed by several restaurant's brussel sprouts -- they always seem to come out mushy in the middle and just swimming in overly sweet balsamic! The trick I like to use is cutting the sprouts in fourths -- that way the steam that's being generated inside the sprout has some place to escape plus it gives me more sides to sear :)

If you don't have the ingredients for the vinaigrette, but do have balsamic vinegar, you can sprinkle that over them fresh out the oven, while in the pan, the pan will smoke a bit, but it also helps it "Set" on the sprouts.

      @Arkylie 6 років тому +9

      Yes, the basic idea is: A set of instructions on how to do something isn't copyrightable. A list of ingredients is a basic-fact "how to do a thing." However, the particular expression of that list is the copyrightable part -- the creative/artistic part. This includes the banter in the recipe, the specific words used (other than basic terms like "cook," "fry," "sautee," "tablespoons" and so on, which are obviously necessary to the sense conveyed), and, in cookbooks, the selection of which recipes (so you can always "steal" a recipe and publish it, but you can't wholesale steal the set of recipes from Book A and make nearly identical Book B and get away with it).
      I'm still wondering how this overlaps with Patent and Trademark laws, though. I'm not nearly so sure of that side. But I'm pretty confident in saying that (a) you're fine just publishing a video of you making any recipe you please, with the exact (fact-based) step-by-step instructions and same ingredients and same measurements as in the original, and (b) if the company sues you over this, they probably have no case but most UA-camrs wouldn't have the means to fight back, so it's a form of Chilling Effects. Ah well.

    I didn’t grow up with Brussels sprouts, but almost anything involving kids in movies and tv sure liked talking about how “disgusting” they are. So I was really scared to try them when I first got a hold of them in my mid-20s. I sautéed them in butter and a little bacon fat (because what vegetable _doesn’t_ taste good with either of those?) alongside onions until they caramelized and it was super good! I think people hate them so much because they don’t give Brussels the TLC they deserve.

    2. Drizzle olive oil, a few pinches of salt and pepper
    3. Air roast for 7-10 minutes ( shaking at the half mark)

    I prefer to just pan fry brussels sprouts. Half them, put a generous amount of olive oil in a pan and then place them face-down in the pan and put it on medium with a lid on. You'd think the lid would be counter-productive with the excess moisture but it actually helps cook them thoroughly and the oil and moderately high heat will ensure a nice maillard reaction on the flat sides. After the bottoms are about 75% as brown as I'd like them to be, I take off the lid and toss in salt, curry powder, dill weed, pepper and sometimes a little salt-free lemon seasoning (usually Mrs. Dash). I toss everything around and let it cook until everyone's desired crunchiness has been achieved (I like mine practically black, others still want the backs bright green).

    Honestly almost any vegetable CAN be good microwaved/steamed as long as you _Don't. Overdo it._ Throwing a bunch of broccoli or brussels sprouts in a bowl with a cover and microwaving until they're just tender enough to bite through while still having some bite gives them a _delightful_ mouthfeel and warmth while still aping that satisfying veggie taste. It's only when you _overcook_ them like that that they turn into mush, just like how over _roasting_ them can turn them into carbon flakes.
