BRUSSELS SPROUTS! I just love them, and saw them growing in the ground for the first time this week. This city kid hit the country for some quality time up at a farm outside of Albany. As you can see in the picture above the sprouts grow off a stalk almost forming a bumpy trunk that explodes into foliage at the top. I love them roasted best! Just clean them, slice them in half or quarters (if they are on the big side), toss in some bacon for extra umph, mix in a little olive oil, salt and pepper and roast on a pan at 375-400 for about 30 minutes. I like them slightly burt and crispy.
Brussels sprouts are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, folacin, potassium, calcium, fiber and when eaten with grains provide a great source of protein.
