Well, I will stick with my two day old tradition of showing strange pictures. This is actually the four foot tall Brussels sprout plant from our garden just prior to the final harvest this past week. It was a good year for Brussels sprouts! That single plant must have produced 200 sprouts. Glad we have a large deep freeze.
They are a delicious food that is also high in vitamins and fiber. This is our favorite way to prepare the sprouts:
Steam for about five minutes.
Then saute w/ butter, salt and pepper. Stir constantly. It is important not to overcook Brussels sprouts as they release a sulfur smell if they get too much past al dante'. But otherwise they are scrumptious as all three of our boys eat them.
They go very well with beef filet.
