ok, another taste I love that only seems a bit odd because most people I know don't like them at all...those gorgeous, luscious, wonderful, little green brussels sprouts, mon petit chou! I cut them into halves or quarters depending on size, steam them to my preferred softness, heat up a frying pan of good olive oil very hot, dump the little chous in there, stir and watch when they start showing signs of crisping at the leaf edges which will indicate when they are carmelizing, add salt & pepper to taste. I can eat this all by itself for dinner, or maybe with a nice piece of ripe soft brie and crusty bread...heaven is green.
