Shaved Brussel Sprouts

Submitted by Oliver Fischers Mo

"I know that brussel sprouts usually get a bad rap, but they truly are a delicious vegetable. Give this a try and it may change your outlook! They are tender, a little spicy, and slightly cheesy. All in all, a simple and flavorful side dish."

So yummy. This is a great way to cook the brussel sprouts. And I liked the spicyness of the red pepper flakes. Even DH liked it and usually he doesn't like brussel sprouts. Thanks Oliver & Fischer's Mommy :) Made for Alphabet tag game

Really fast! Really great! Loved the simplicity of this recipe even though it looked so fancy. I must admit that I was in too big of a hurry to cut out the cores. I trimmed the bottoms of fresh brussel sprouts then fed them into the hopper of my food processor with the slicing blade. I think it worked pretty well. I went "light" on the red pepper flakes but "heavy" on the parmesan. Will be making this over and over! Thanks.

I didn't notice until I was 1/2 way through cooking this recipe...the ingredients call for 1 T butter. However, I did not see butter used in the directions! I just added it before the water (which I substituted chicken broth).

First time cooking Brussel sprouts shaved(with a mandoline) and it turned out great! I used veg. broth instead of water for even more flavor. Thanks! Made for Pick a Chef(PAC) event.
