Excuse me for commenting on this so late; I came here via Alanna's "lemony leaves of love" post. I love them steamed and tossed in cider vinegar OR parboiled, quartered then sauteed in olive oil with breadcrumbs and garlic. We just tried sauteed Brussels sprout leaves a la Laura Calder - leaves sauteed in olive oil with bacon and garlic. Wonderful!!

P.S. I did drop by Nicky's site and I think I left a comment but then again, perhaps I didn't. (Maybe I can't add?)

I've seen a few recipes for shredded brussels sprouts, but yours is the best sounding one I've ever seen! Sounds just wonderful.

And Anali, do share the soup recipe here too!

I've missed this recipe but now am highlighting it for before Christmas, it looks so simple! Thanks much for the tip.

I've had no luck with shredded Brussels sprouts, must try again.

I love Brussels Sprouts, always have. My favorite more difficult recipe is Brussels Sprout Souffle from Bert Greene's "Greene on Greens." It is super yum.

My favorite easy recipe is from Margaret Fox of Cafe Beaujolais in Mendocino - shred the sprouts fine, melt a little butter in a saute pan, toss the sprouts in, stir, squeeze in a bit of lemon juice. Put the lid on and let them steam a couple minutes. Then toss a little shredded parmesan over, put the lid back on and let it melt. People have no idea what this even is if you don't tell them, but they usually like it!

I was surprised

I was actually quite surprised how much I liked them. Of course, isn't everything good with pine nuts?

Hi Alanna! I guess people are starting to come around to like the sprouts. I used to be one of the few. In October, I wrote a post about a Brussels sprout soup that I made. Loved it!
