Marinated Brussel Sprouts - luvnit - 02-26-2009
I don't think I have posted this before, but I was looking through some summer stuff and found this. This is also a WeightWatchers Zero Points recipe and I don't know if this is an actual WW recipe or someone just calculated the points for this. I saw a version of the recipe in Taste of Home that used Italian Dressing for the marinade.
MARINATED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
2 pounds fresh or frozen Brussels sprouts, preferably fresh
Dressing:
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon each, dry mustard, salt, sugar, oregano & thyme
additional salt & pepper to taste
If using fresh sprouts, trim stem, remove outer leaves and cut an X into core with tip of a knife. Bring salted water to a boil and cook for 6 – 8 minutes until cooked but still bright green. Drain. If using frozen brussel sprouts you just need to thaw and heat them in the microwave.
Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl. Add hot sprouts, stir several times. Chill for 4 hours before serving.

No, never seen this one before, but we would love it. Thanks for posting, Laura. Never thought to use brussel sprouts for this. We do marinated veggies for nibbling a lot, especially in the summer. I'll have to try this.

Oh boy another b. sprouts idea!! Thanks Laura, love 'em.
Re: Marinated Brussel Sprouts - luvnit - 02-26-2009
Sometimes I slice them in two, lengthwise. Especially if they are large. Then toss them onto a salad with cold beets, marinated aspargus and the like.

Thanks for the recipe. I love them!
Re: Marinated Brussel Sprouts - cjs - 02-26-2009
Oh, beets and b. sprouts together??? I've not done that - how good that sounds. Maybe add the sprouts to the beet and corn salad....oh yeah. what a good idea.

Laura, thanks for this idea! I made them to have with dinner tonight and tasted them while they were still warm. They are so good, I am having trouble keeping out of it till dinner. Can't wait to try them again cooled and marinated!

I am glad you liked them Theresa. I love brussel sprouts and will eat them anyway I can get them.
Maybe I will grow them this year in the garden. Anybody here grow them?
