Celebrating Sprouts |
Recipe Adapted from Trader Joe’s
I had no idea that Brussels sprouts grew on stalks till I
moved to California, quite a few years ago now. In those days we could only buy
stalk sprouts directly from coastal farmers at roadside stands. Nowadays we see
them at Farmers’ Markets, large-scale produce stands, and even at Trader Joe’s
(TJ’s). For years I’ve wanted to try the recipe that TJ’s rubber bands to their
stalks. When I finally tried it, it was nothing like I imagined. The
outside of the sprout is crispy and caramelized, and the inside is soft and
delicate, a delicious contrast.
