Brussel Sprouts with Chipotle Cranberry Cheddar


Abandoned Edibles
brussel sprouts; chipotle cranberry cheddar
(additional ingredients: garlic, butter, olive oil, spices, etc.)

What I did: after twenty-seven years of avoidance, I have finally caved in: yes folks, 'tis true--I cooked and ate brussel sprouts. And you know what? Aside from the inevitable flatulence, they weren't that bad! All I did was trim off the brown parts, chop off the butts, and sauté in butter, olive oil, and garlic. Then I grated the chipotle cranberry cheddar cheese on top.



The Verdict
I must confess, I actually enjoyed these. I guess it goes to show that you can cook anything in butter and garlic and have it taste good. But in all honesty, if you enjoy cabbage (in all its forms) and are a butter addict such as myself, you would probably dig this particular preparation of brussel sprouts. The chipotle cheddar cheese was a perfect addition, as well--just the right about of spice!

Taste: 7
Creativity: 6
Appearance: 7

Improvements for next time: incorporate additional veggies, perhaps?
