cooking sprouts

i succumbed (after crossing half of them) and didn't both crossing the second load.

ended up boiling them for as long as it took to wrestle with all the other things in the oven (i'd say less than 8 mins) and then tossed them in the frying pan with some butter and breadcrumbs and they were bluddy lovely.

could go that dinner again right now, but this time sober enough to enjoy it.

:D
 
BRUSSEL SPROUTS CREOLE

1 1/2 lb. brussel sprouts
3 tbsp. butter
1 lg. onion (finely chopped)
1 garlic clove (crushed)
1 green pepper (chopped)
1 lb. tomatos (blanched, peeled and chopped or use can tomatos, drained)
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. basil
1 tsp. salt

With a sharp knife, trim any tough or discolored leaves from sprouts. Wash them thoroughly and cut a cross in the base of each sprout. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over moderate heat. When the foam subsides add the onion garlic and green pepper. Cook stirring occasionally for 8 minutes. Stir in the tomatos, sprouts, pepper, basil and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes until sprouts are tender.

You can also skip the pepper, salt and basil and substitute a few drops of Tabasco or Encona pepper sauce.
