How to Prepare Brussels

Sprouts

Getting Brussels sprouts ready to cook is an easy task, but it’s a fiddly one, since each little head needs to be trimmed individually (1) For me, the first step in cleaning the sprouts is to ask around if anybody wants to help make dinner The job is much easier when you delegate

wisely.

Here’s how to tell your volunteer to do it: Start by slicing off the bottom of each sprout (2), then peel off the outer layer of leaves until you get to the tightly packed, pale green core (3) The outer leaves are a little rubbery and can be discarded The sprouts could be cooked as is, or for better surface area for caramelization, split in half (4) To shred sprouts for hash (5), place each half sprout

on a cutting board, cut side down, and carefully shred the sprout with a sharp chef’s knife (6) Prepared sprouts can

be stored in a zipper-lock plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
