I know not many people like brussell sprouts, but man, I am a fan...

My personal favorite...

Boil the brussell sprouts until tender. Add butter and some brown sugar to a skillet and caramelize, toss in the brussell sprouts. Salt and pepper to taste. Yumm-o! (this is similar to the way Houston's Restaurant serves their brussell sprouts).

Any others?
 
chop and sautee with red wine vinegar, garlic and salt and pepper

add bacon or pancetta if you like
 
Chop 'em in half. Season with salt and pepper and olive oil. Roast.

I hate the taste of brussells sprouts when boiled or steamed (especially when overcooked to the point of mushyness,) but love them this way.

Try and find fresh ones (still on the stalk,) so much better.
 
Another way to prep them so the sprout end gets more tender is to cut an "x" in the sprout end. Then cook using your favorite method and seasonings. I second the addition of bacon to the seasonings.
 
This recipe has converted many a brussel sprout hater, so you'll love it:

Sauteed shredded Fresh Brussel Sprouts

- Coarsely shred FRESH Brussel Sprouts (I use a food processor with the most coarse slicing blade or just cut with a knife, not too fine is the key)
- salt & pepper
- melt 2 Tablespoons butter in a large nonstick pan
- quickly sautee (3 to 5 minutes tops) as you don't want to overcook
- finish off with a little balsamic vinegar & transfer to serving dish
- garnish with toasted pinenuts (my favorite) or fresh shredded parmesian cheese

These go with mashed potatos like you wouldn't believe.

Another killer way (not to mention SIMPLE):

Cut fresh sprouts in half, salt & pepper and toss in olive oil (I like the garlic infused). Roast in a very hot oven for about 10 minutes or until carmelized.
 
Man, I wish brussell sprouts were in season so I could try these...

Is there anywhere you can get them during the summer? Or am I out of luck until November?
 
Brulue- The 1st, is indeed a great recipe, very classic, rustic Italian.

I take these and add them to boiled taters, as you mentioned, then puree in a food processor. Then transfer to a casserole, top w/ pine nuts, parm cheese, breadcrumbs and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake at 350 until browned. YUM!

FYI, steamed broccoli and boiled taters done in a similar fashion as I described, is great too.
 
I always thought the best way to serve them was to place them directly in the trash can, but some of you have me convinced to give them another try. I have especially high hopes for the two pine nut recipes.
