Brussels Sprouts

So, I have never been a fan of Brussels Sprouts.  I think when they are cooked they stink.  It is hard because I know nutritionally they are supposed to be great for you so I want to like them.

 To piggy-back on another great recipe from Kristin, here is a great salad made  out of fresh Brussels Sprouts.  Now, I made this the other day and will have to be honest and say that Jake did not love this one.  So, if your husband is a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy then he may not like it either.  On the other hand, I think it is a great alternative for eating Brussels Sprouts-fresh not stinky.

Ingredients:

Brussels Sprouts 1 dozen

Fennel 1/2 tsp

Goat cheese 1/2 c.

*The amounts are guesstimates.  I kind of just felt it out. Sorry.

1. Wash the Brussels Sprouts

2. Finely chop up the Brussels Sprouts (like shredded cabbage) and place in a bowl.

3. Heat goat cheese in a sauce pan.  Be careful to heat it up on a low heat so that you don't burn the cheese.  Heat it up to the point that it is melted.  It doesn't need to go to the point of boiling.

4. Pour the goat cheese on the finely chopped Brussels Sprouts and stir it in.  The goat cheese should lightly coat the Brussels sprouts

5. Sprinkle fennel on top and stir in.

6. Eat.
