My wife bought some Brussel sprouts to go with the Prime Rib tonight. I need some ideas beyond the usual steamed thing she does. I'd like to do them on the Egg.[p]Thanks

  • Mike in Abita, thanks for the link- I'll search it, but it seems that Brussels Sprouts show up in your pictures sometimes- I figure you have to have a favorite recipe. Mind sharing?
    Thanks and Happy Christmas.

  • East Bay Al,[p]This is an interesting one![p]Brussel, Sprouts, Animal Eater

    I live near Monterey, Ca. where your sprouts probably came from so I eat them a lot. The key is to NOT boil or steam them. Instead, ROAST them.
    [p]Ingredients
    20-30 Brussel Sprouts
    1 medium white onion coarsely chopped
    2-3 TBS olive oil




    Procedure
    1 Cut the nub off of each one and put them in a roasing pan that is large enough so the sprouts are not crowded (one layer deep).
    2 Coarsely chop a white onion, or use pearl onions, and toss into the pan.
    3 Generously drizzle olive oil over the onions and sprouts and add lots of S&P. Toss to coat evenly
    4 Roast at 450F until fork tender; expect 45 minutes to an hour.
    5 If they are big sprouts, reduce the heat a little and cook longer (DUH).
    6 I like them soft with a touch of brown on the outside. This method actually concentrates the flavor and adds a nice outer crispness whereas boiling and steaming reduces their flavor and makes them mushy.
    7 Have fun.

    Hiya Jake,I hear I met you in Omaha, man I'm having a hard time putting names to those faces.



    Directions:
    1 What I do is peel off the funky outer leaves as mentioned. Trim off the stem and cut them in half. I like to coat them with a tablespoon or two of canola oil and then toss in some Dizzy Pig Shaking the Tree rub. That rub is absolutely fantastic on them IMHO. The sugar in the rub kinda burns/carmelizes on the sprouts and if you cook them till just starting to get tender they have a real nutty flavor I think. I'll never eat sprouts from a box in the freezer section again.
    2 I like to get the pan really hot and then dump in the sprouts. Cook them a few minutes and then cover for a few to steam em up. I then uncover them and cook another minute or two.
    3 I really recomend a nonstick pan if inside or an enameled cast iron pan. I've got a shallow braising pan I bought from walmart. Search them online it is tramaneta (spelling probably wrong) cast iron pan and you'll find them. Great stuff. I had both the braising pan and pot at Omaha if you saw them.
    4 Here is a picture from a cook inside. Cleaning the burnt spots from the sugar off the stainless steel pan is a real job. Get an enameled cast iron pan and clean up is a pinch.

    Car Wash Mike,
    Distraction and I've got an old man's mind in a middle aged mans body. LOL[p]H

  • East Bay Al,[p]Sorry I had a party to go to and left right after the original post. I like it simple. A little bacon grease in a CI skillet on the egg, cut sprouts in half and season with rub of choice or just S&P.[p]
