HMM!
7/52 Vegetables - Macro Mondays
I love my vegetables, so had plenty of choice in the fridge :) But I went with a Brussels Sprout, as to me they are a lovely Winter vegetable and today is a wet grey Wintery day.
Not only do I dislike brussels sprouts and broccoli, but I find them to be downright scary sometimes!
The back story: When my wife and I were thinking recently about some wall art for our kitchen, I remembered a food photo that I posted on Flickr about 10 years ago that might be appropriate to add a whimsical touch to our kitchen decor. But when I looked up that photo, I found that the black background on the original image seemed too dark and a bit too ominous for our kitchen.
So this is the redo. The original image is in the first comments box. And yeah, yeah, I do I eat brussels sprouts and broccoli, because I know that they're good for me. I gotta eat 'em, but I don't gotta like 'em... :-)

Rosenkohl ist gesund und nahrhaft. So enthalten 100 Gramm gekochter Rosenkohl lediglich 30 kcal/124 kJ, liefern zugleich aber viele wichtige Nährstoffe. Das Kreuzblütler-Gemüse hat einen hohen Vitamingehalt (hauptsächlich Vitamin A und C), ist reich an Mineralstoffen (Eisen, Kalium, Kalzium und Magnesium) und enthält Glukosinolate, die als sekundärer Pflanzenstoff das Risiko für eine Reihe von Krebserkrankungen senken.
Brussels sprouts are healthy and nutritious. 100 grams of cooked Brussels sprouts contain only 30 kcal/124 kJ, but at the same time provide many important nutrients. The cruciferous vegetable is high in vitamins (mainly vitamins A and C), rich in minerals (iron, potassium, calcium and magnesium) and contains glucosinolates, which are phytochemicals that reduce the risk of a number of cancers.
Can't abide them myself! Ever since I was a child and my grandmother made me sit at the table til they were gone - except I was physically sick and she relented! She was wonderful and only trying to do the right thing by us as our mother was in a sanitarium with TB - It must have been really hard for her!! It certainly w3as for my sister at 5 years old, and me at 7. I don't suppose it was a picnic for my father, either...

I never thought about how Brussels sprouts grew until I walked into the grocery store a couple months ago and found a barrel full of stalks of Brussels sprouts. Of course I had to buy a few to take photos of ;-).

Crepe with sauteed vegies and sour cream. Whoops, I forgot a sprig of basil and basil flower garnish on top...;-)
Actually, this is half of the crepe for brunch. I'm saving the other half for dinner!

Leider nicht aus meinem Garten, aber frischer geht´s nicht! - Not out of my own garden but It could not be fresher!
......Christmas dinner wouldn't be the same without them.
Of course the more wine I drink the tastier these will be.
I will be adding chestnuts and bacon to them.....Jamie Oliver will be so happy with me :))
My husband liked the image without any texture added so I am posting it today. My Brussels sprouts are starting to spoil, they got pushed to the back of the fridge and were forgotten. At least they weren't a total waste.
I was preparing Brussels sprouts for dinner the other night and couldn't resist taking a photo of them. It took me a while to come up with a definition though.
These are from my garden, there wasn't a very good crop of them this year so we haven't had many meals of them.
I like them by the way :-)

Der Iss-Rosenkohl-Tag (engl. Eat Brussels Sprouts Day) fällt in den USA immer auf den 31. Januar. Wer sich das ausgedacht hat und warum es immer am 31.Januar ist, habe ich auch nicht in Erfahrung bringen können .. ist aber eigentlich auch egal. 😎👍
Rosenkohl ist lecker, gesund und hat viele wichtige Nährstoffe.
Eat Brussels Sprouts Day always falls on January 31st in the United States. I haven't been able to find out who came up with it and why it's always January 31st... but it doesn't really matter.
Brussels sprouts are delicious, healthy and have many important nutrients. 😎👍
I was wondering if you could do anything with the outer sprout leaves other than a Chistmas Day PoD.
Apparently you can crisp them in the oven. Toss them in olive oil, grated lemon zest, some walnuts, salt and pepper. Roast until crisp and golden then sprinkle with grated pecorino romano cheese and then eat.
I might try it but not today.
Trivia - I just read that sprouts are native to the Mediterranean region and they first appeared in northern Europe during the 5th century. Apparently.

As we're not too keen on Brussels sprouts if the flavour is strong I experimented this year with cutting out the main pale stalk of each. As a result the flavour is tender and Tom says he could eat a whole plateful of those. It requires 3 cuts per sprout. Cut each in half, then a V where the stalk is, on each half. The traditional method also requires 3 cuts. Remove the little stump before cutting a cross on the base of each sprout, so it doesn't require any extra work.
I was using small sprouts from the top of a plant for this experiment. Today I did it with large ones from the bottom of a plant and they didn't taste so good. I think I will have to be more precise and careful not to leave any of the stalk behind with these ones.
There are various suggestions of things you can mix with brussels, for example, chestnuts, bacon, sausages, onions. We like them with apple jelly.
Due to chronic poor health I'm unable to take on new contacts but do my best to reply to comments. Thank you for your kind comments, favours and friendship through the year. Have a lovely Christmas.
