Sarah Wise Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 A Festive Factoid... " In 2014, Stuart Kettell pushed a Brussels sprout up mount Snowdon with his nose for charity. The climb took four days 22 hours and used 20 sprouts" (Are we just calling them "Sprouts" now though?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halved and cooked in a little butter with lardons of bacon, delicious This is "Sprout School" speak Keith! , so I'm taking this up a notch ... Par boiled for 2 minutes, then oven roasted with a drizzle of olive oil and a wee bit of butter, salt, pepper and bacon/lardons . Then for the last few minutes of roasting, spritz some Balsamic vinegar on them and grate some parmesan cheese over them! Give the green fellas a good messing about in the roasting tray. Sprout Nirvana (I did these once for a friend who doesn't like sprouts...I was hopeful...however he still reckoned they looked better at the bottom of the bin ) keithm and Mick Friend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 I have a better way to deal with sprouts. Take them in your hand and throw them straight in the bin. Voila. Mike at Vauxhall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
