Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Thanksgiving Brussel Sprouts

I am willing to eat 2 or 3 Brussel Sprouts just for the virtue of it. It's odd, because I do enjoy regular cabbage.


Anyway, our Brussel Sprouts recipe is this: First, freeze them if only for a few hours. Then chop in half and cook in bacon chunks under the broiler or in a cast iron pan with salt and pepper.


How do your make them?


Bacon makes everything better.

Air fryer. Light coat of olive oil, salt, pepper, lots of garlic. Yum.

Add some balsamic vinegar to coat them prior to throwing them under the broiler, and make sure you give them a bit of a char. Works in a cast iron skillet also.

I love Brussel Sprouts. Most often I just halve them and microwave in a covered glass dish for 60 to 75 seconds. Or slice them and toss in a hot pan with a little olive oil to brown them up. Or oven roast at 425 degrees, with or without a little bacon or pancetta. Or shred them with a knife or mandoline and incorporate them in a salad with olive oil and lemon or balsamic vinegar. Sprouts are a favorite food, and my body always appreciates incorporating them in my diet.

The best recipe I ever saw for Brussel Sprouts is to cook it with 3 pounds of bacon, then scrape off the Brussel Sprouts into the trash and eat the bacon.
