Want something fun for the kids? Try Brussels Sprouts on the stalk!

Posted by Lyndi

Last night I was shopping in Allen’s Food Market in Bella Vista and came across these: Brussels Sprouts on the stalk! How cute is that?

For all you parents out there who want your kids to eat Brussels sprouts, buy it on the stalk and make them part of the removal process!

Plus, these would be a great addition to your roasted vegetable dish at Thanksgiving.

Retail is $3.99 each.

Allen’s Food Market is located on 71B North on the East side of the highway at 60 Sugar Creek Center. Open daily 7am – 10pm.

  2. Hi cmricha2 - thanks for your comment! And yes, I have a GREAT Brussels Sprout recipe.

    Braised Brussels Sprouts (serves 4)

    1 pound small Brussels sprouds, stem ends trimmed with a knife and discolored leaves removed by hand

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    Bring the sprouts, 1/2 coup water, and salt to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and simmer (shaking the pan once or twice to redistribute the sprouts) until a knife tip inserted into the center of a sprout meets no resistance, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well and season (with ground black pepper and either oilive oil or butter). Recipe from 'Best American Side Dishes' - from the folks at Cook's Illustrated (my fav).

    Enjoy! Tell me how it worked out!
