They sell them washed and bagged in the produce section. Here is how i do them...cut off the very end and then halve them. Microwave in a glass bowl with a little water for 5 mins. Then toss with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and cook in a pan over medium for 5-10mins depending on how big they are. Soooooo delicious, they get a little caramelized by the process and are so tasty. For the ones in your garden, I would recommend harvesting before they get too big, the little ones are more tender.SarahTulinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619859062283924360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-75457364197395088572011-09-27T14:48:14.521-04:002011-09-27T14:48:14.521-04:00Loved the post, thank you!

(And love this web site, which I discovered via NYTimes.com) For your Brussel sprouts, saute them up with a few cloves of minced garlic, soy sauce, pinch of sugar and fresh ginger. When almost done, toss with sesame seeds and a splash of sesame oil. I am telling you, addictive!! I always thought I hated Brussel sprouts, until I tried them grilled and then tried to replicate the flavors at home. I can eat two bags of TJs brussel sprouts cooked this way, by myself!!
