Pour any handy vinaigrette over them, chill and serve, You could add

Ordinarily IMHO, Brussels Sprouts require a very short cooking time
unless they are to live up to many people's opinions. Chuck them out
would be my advice tho' Julie Sahni has quite a good recipe that might
work, using them in a South Indian lentil stew (Chauk Gobhi aur Sem
Sambaar.)

Yes to the marinated veg salad idea.
I'd add scallions or another mild onion.
I'd add chopped parsley.
Carrots are always a welcome addition to anything marinated.


For the dressing, oil, vinegar, and brown mustard.

I like them tossed with a bit of balsamic vinaigrette and sprinkled with
parmesan or romano. Sometimes with a pinch of crushed red pepper.

Bubble and Squeak! Bacon, chopped sprouts, onion, mashed potatoes, cheese,
formed into a patty and fried. Throw a fried egg on top, if you like.

Add to boiled beets, then toss it all in the trash

You could fry them with egg noodles...

Brussels potato stuffed pierogies?

A lot depends on how "cooked" they are. If they're fairly tender, I'd make
a cream of Brussels sprouts soup.

If the grill is going, to warm them up, douse them with olive oil and
put them on the grill for a while....

Cut them in half so the dressing can reach the middle. I'd put them together
with some tomato wedges, good black olives, very thin red onion slices, and
parboiled carrots, and make a quasi-Moroccan dressing with lemon juice,
olive oil, coriander, cilantro, garlic, cumin, and honey.

Of course, I'd probably say something completely different tomorrow. Or even
six hours later today.

A friend of mine constantly rants about this glazed brussels
sprouts recipe she has. She claims even kids like them (which
seems hard to believe, but her kids are really hearty
trencherwomen). I can't get her recipe for a while, but here's
one online that claims you can make the sprouts ahead of time:

I assume you can make it without the carrots without disturbing
the artistic integrity of the dish . . . .

sliced in 1/2 or /1/4 and used in a salad or as a salad.

One of my favorite snacks is leftover veggies with salad dressing.

Smartass.
I pickled some last year -- an R&D project for a nephew-in-law. They're
good, but these are cooked.

Hmmm. Thanks, Mike. Alex knows I don't wish to disturb the artistic
integrity.

Sorry, Toots. The only bubbling I detect is my gut responding to the
very idea.

Hmm, a thought, thanks, although HWSRN wouldn't be interested and I want
these gone by Sunday noon; I'm leaving town on Monday morning for the
week.
