Brussels Sprouts
Whether still on their stalk at farmers’ markets or bundled into containers, you’ll find fresh Brussels sprouts almost everywhere this time of year. If you haven’t developed a taste for them yet, try them prepared a different way. Says Ortuzar, “Everyone grows up thinking they don’t like Brussels sprouts, but they quickly become converts once they taste them prepared properly. They have great texture and flavor when shaved in their raw state. As a side salad, toss shaved Brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar, pine nuts, currants, and Parmesan.”
