More often than not, when you ask a kid what vegetable they hate they will boldly announce that brussel sprouts are their Achilles Heel. I used to be one of those kids. Through the power of suggestion (via a cousin), I thought aphids lives in brussels sprouts making them taste horrendous. Now I don’t know if that is true, but I can happily say brussel sprouts don’t taste terrible. They do produce an interesting smell when cooked, but that doesn’t translate to the taste buds. After coming to my senses, and some inspiration from a Jose Andres restaurant; I developed this exciting recipe that I would love to share with all of you!

I didn’t grow up eating Brussels sprouts instead discovered them as an adult. You are so right they get an undeserved bad reputation. I believe any vegetable well spiced will be loved by anyone. Your recipe certainly would make a non-Brussels sprout eater into a lover of them.
