Lemon-Dilled Brussels Sprouts

"A delicious way to serve fresh brussels sprouts. Make sure that when preparing that yellowed outer leaves are trimmed away and that an X is cut in the core end with a sharp knife. October through February is the peak season for this member of the cabbage family. Select small, firm, tightly closed heads that have a bright green color."

  1. Loved these brussels sprouts! I used the steam bag brand of vege's and dried dill weed. Forgot to add the chopped almonds but enjoyed without them. The lemon juice and dill weed are so good together and make the brussels sprouts really pop in flavor. Will be making these again! Made and reviewed for the Diabetic Forums March Into Spring Event.
     
  2. Wow! I love the taste of brussels sprouts as is - but adding the few ingredients in your recipe PaulaG makes it 100% times better!!! I did the recipe as is (except I cooked my brussels sprouts in the microwave). Thanks PaulaG!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
