  This list reads like someone who’s never been served roasted brussel sprouts or steamed broccoli.

    ugh, why would you ruin a perfectly nice broccoli

    • Lemjukes@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      You know you can steam em without turning em to mush right?

        fair enough, it may be bad experiences talking

    I made good brussels ONCE. I have the recipe and tried to do it many times, never could make them good again, always too bitter. I know it’s possible but I’ll wait a decade for stars to align again.

      Brussel sprouts literally have become less bitter over the last few decades, but depending on where you get yours they might still be using older variants. Maybe try a different source?

      I literally just clean mine, cut them in half & remove stems, toss them with olive oil & salt & pepper, then roast them cut-side down. Perfect every time.

        I’m personally annoyed that I can’t find the bitter ones where I am. I used to pick and east the ones my mother grew in her garden raw. All of the ones I can find now don’t have the right flavour.

      Hu, we always complain Brussel sprouts aren’t bitter enough anymore.

      How much parmesan did you grate over the brussel sprouts after they came out of the oven? Whatever amount it was, you didn’t do enough. Also if you forgot lemon zest, add some too.

    Roasted broccoli squad checking in. This guy’s is missing out.

    Actually most vegetables. Roast them in the oven with a tiny bit of oil, salt, and pepper. They always come out delicious.

    Had both. So many people here have recommended different Brussels sprout recioes that I want comment on this. But steamed or boiled broccoli just sucks compared to seared or roasted.

  Brussel sprouts are a vehicle for garlic butter, like bread.

  source

  • Lemjukes@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    And stop forking boiling ‘em

    source
  • smiletolerantly@awful.systems ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    So why not just do bread?

      Nutrition bonus.

      • smiletolerantly@awful.systems ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Salad + garlic bread. Final offer.

  Brussels sprouts, not the small bitter little bitches, but the big, fat, tiny cabbages cut in half and fried, tossed with sea salt and a sweet/sour or sweet/hot sticky sauce is so good you’ll want to punch a baby in the face.

  Cauliflower, pickled, tossed with cornstarch and fried, top with bbq sauce. OR toss with oil, salt, curry powder and roast will make you question your previous life and the regrets of time wasted not shoveling it into your face hole.

  Boiled broccoli can be heaven with some salt (and if it’s still crunchy on the inside)

  regardless, got some savoy recommendations? I only know German Rahmwirsing

  • smiletolerantly@awful.systems ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I’ve recently been enjoying this recipe: essen-und-trinken.de/…/57421-rzpt-wirsing-pie

    And my go-to is to make Carbonara, but replace the Lancaster/Guanciale with 2-3 of the outer, leathery savoy leaves cut into black width strips (vegetarian carbonara, basically).

    source

    • PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Damn thanks. For the carbonara do you fry the leaves crispy?

      source

      • smiletolerantly@awful.systems ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Not completely, but yes. But in pan with some oil and fry them, as you’d do with the Gunciale

  For Brussel sprouts try this recipe, they’re awesome

  Bressel sprouts that don’t suck

  source

  • smiletolerantly@awful.systems ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I’ll be honest, those look ok. Might try them and maybe upgrade to 0.75/5.

• JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Another option:
  Green cabbage, steamed with butter melted over the top while its hot.
  And cauliflower? Have you not heard the good word about cauliflower cheese bake?
