Brussels sprouts look and taste like little green brains. I have no idea what brain actually tastes like, but I imagine it's brussels sprouts.

Brussel sprouts are delicious. Modern versions have had their bitterness bred out. Roasted until crispy with olive oil and garlic and salt and they're fantastic.

Problem is the fools that boil or steam them. That way lies little green brains.

They taste like the worst version of a cabagge and they smell god awful while being prepared. I do believe some michelin star chef could make me a version I can eat but it would be a much more involved version not just roasted till crispy.

I promise you that roasted in olive oil with light salt and pepper until crispy is the best. But taste is relative.

While roasting them add some diced dates, bacon, onions and maybe peppers and you have the best dish ever made

IDK if it's cause I'm starving right now or what but this sounds amazing.

[-] PvtGetSum@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It is amazing, one of my favorite dishes

[-] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Is there a name for this recipe? Wouldn't mine trying it still. What's the origin?

[-] PvtGetSum@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It might have a name but I honestly have no idea. Went to a nice butcher shop in new york that had a nice restaurant on the side and they had it on the menu. To be honest I don't know if I've had it anywhere else. I reverse engineered it after the dinner to make at home cause it was just that good, one of my favorite dishes to make if I'm having company over cause it's literally impossible to dislike. The date/bacon/brussel sprouts combo has that perfect mix of savory/sweet/smokeyness.

Then carefully remove the sprouts and eat the rest.

Btw, you can cook and taste brain. It's not the most common thing to find, but you can sometimes find it at a butcher shop, along with the insides of other animals

The human brain is the best! sarcasm

[-] PvtGetSum@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It's actually super good, like meat flavored butter
