Notes
- Brussels Sprouts can be bought on the stock or already removed from the stock. If you need to remove them from the stock is just twist the brussels sprout and it will pop right off.
- Always use fresh brussels sprouts. To check for freshness they should be bright green and have some weight to them. If they are really light in weight that means they have started to dry out.
- Smaller brussels sprouts tend to be sweeter than larger sprouts.
