Maybe it's a New Year thing? Maybe it's that my Mom just read we should all be eating more brussels sprouts...whatever it is... consider this Part II of my PR Campaign for the little green vegetable with the sad and undeserved rap!
I've completely erased from my mind...that unfortunate event many years ago...and have began approaching the sprouts in the produce section...like I've loved the cabbages forever!
Desperately wishing (while standing there) someone ...ANYONE...would see me and think, "Now there's a woman who seems sure of herself...like she knows her way around a sprout. I think I'll go ask her how she prepares them..."
One of these days I know it will happen...and you better believe... I'll be there ready to talk!
I go through phases...cookies one week, chickpeas the next...well this week my friends...it's the Brussels Sprout.
Full disclosure...I didn't veer too far off course what I did the first time - loving the flavor combination of the roasted garlic, lemon zest, olive oil and cheese! This time however... I left out the dough, added toasted pine nuts and turned the roasted medley of brussels sprouts, onions and garlic ~ into a delicious Brussels Sprout Gratin!
Here's what I did...
Roasted Brussels Sprout Gratin
Click Here for the Roasted Brussels Sprouts Steps but stop short of tuning into a pizza and instead...
Add the roasted vegetables to oven proof ramekins or bowls
Stir together well with lots of parmesan cheese (a bit of feta or goat cheese would be wonderful too), toasted pine nuts and touch of lemon zest
Top with more cheese, breadcrumbs (or panko), drizzle with olive oil, cover with foil and cook in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes (or until hot throughout).
Remove the foil and quickly broil just to crisp the top.
Remove from oven and if you have.... drizzle with White Truffle Oil (optional).
Enjoy!

a lovely little petit chou gratin. But then again, I'm a die hard brussels sprout lover from way back, when we got them frozen from the green giant.
They look wonderful, as always :)
I am with you on the Brussels love. I could eat them every night if my husband would tolerate doing the same. As it is I get to eat them about once a week - but when he's out of town - Whoa nellie! Brussels are my other lover;) This recipe looks divine. Thanks for sharing!
I'll eat Roasted Brussels Spout Gratin! Won't eat it boiled or steamed. Just can't stand the sufferings of heathy eating! Thanks for making this inviting dish!
Be my guest anytime! Demerara or turbinado is sugar that is unrefined. I also use muscovado, another similar type very popular in the UK. Cheers!
Your gratin is delicious. Another one beautiful dish with Brussels sprouts.
And here I thought I was the only one who had those thoughts while in the grocery store! The Brussles Sprouts look delicious. then again add cheese and I'm a happy Witch :)
Roasted sprouties are soooo good!! I totally spaced on your pizza recipe, which looks delish, but I think this one gets my vote-- how can layering sprouts with cheese be bad in any way?? I'd use all the varieties of cheese you mentioned!
oh my goodness...i am drooling over this already..look so good. thank you for sharing this.
Another great recipe to try! Thanks!
These are Bob's favorite vegetable and I love to see new ways to prepare them. These look delicious. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Okay! You won me over! I just came back from the grocery store with a bag full of sprouts....my kids can blame their Aunt! I like them broiled with olive oil. This might be a go-to tonight. It looks like we will be snowed in tomorrow so I will have time to experiment with some of your other creations. Where is the cork screw?
Well girlfriend, I gotta say I love what you did with these brussells :) They look amazing & its unfair really isn't it how they've got such a bum rap. Good for you doing this little Brussells Sprouts PR campaign :)
