Default Using up the Sprouts

Most people buy more sprouts than they really want for Christmas. To use the residual sprouts left over from the Christmas lunch try this recipé - it is guaranteed to be a real blast - literally.

Sprout Curry

1.5 Kilo’s Fresh, Green Brussels Sprouts. Washed and outer leaves removed
250 fl.oz Water
½ x 5ml Spoon Salt
25gm Butter
1 Onion, peeled and finely chopped
2½ x 5ml Curry Powder
½ x 5ml Ground Coriander Seed
¼ x 5ml Ground Ginger

Using a sharp knife make a cross in the base of the sprouts and place in a large saucepan. Cover with cold salted water. Leave for 30 minutes. Drain and place in the 250 fl.oz cold water and add ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes, or until soft. Drain and mash to a pulp using a potato masher.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large frying pan and add the Onion. Sweat until transparent but not brown.

Add the Sprout pulp to the frying pan and stir over a low heat until the Sprouts are heated through. Add the curry powder, coriander and ginger and cook for a further 15 minutes.

Serve piping hot preferably with deep fried Scotch Eggs and a pint of Draught Guinness

Same old Escafeldia, making posts that cause everyone to vent a lot of hot air

Anyone else have an original idea for using up the sprouts ?

Sprouts-if ever a food deserved it's own website, it is this one as it is truly the food of Satan-is it any wonder that Sprouts are only bought once a year at Christmas and who actually eats them, honestly?

Sprouts should be condemned to Purgatory along with it's evil cousin, Liver-another food fit never to be eaten, ever
