Every year I have to post a story about Brussels sprouts because the are just so pretty. This year I’ve found some true beauties at the Union Square Greenmarket.
Brussels sprouts look like teensy cabbages, but they actually grow on stalks. It is lovely to bring home an entire stalk and cut them off as you need them, like a mini harvest in your kitchen.
We’re making a new Brussels sprout recipe for Thanksgiving this year. Traditionally, my sister-in-law Judy’s recipe is to cut the sprouts in half and sautée them in butter and olive oil with a sprinkle of poppy seeds. The dark grey seeds against the bright green sprouts make for a visually appetizing dish.
This year, however, James is finally making the GrowNYC recipe for Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts. I tried a sample several years ago at a market, and it’s a very tasty recipe. Essentially, you add a few tablespoons of maple to the sautée pan with the sprouts. The secret is that you finish it off with a splash of apple cider vinegar to temper the sweetness and add a tart little kick.
Pick up this recipe and many more excellent ones from the GrowNYC Information Tent at your nearest greenmarket!
