Christine.....did you say she was Japanese.....

....tell her they are bonsai cabbages....

I love Sprouts

I do a summer recipe with them I cook them with florets of cauliflower and broccolli and let them go cold then add Salad Cream or mayonaisse to them. Makes a great summer salad. Different from the normal salads for a change. Don't over cook them for this though have them with a bit of crunch to them.

They are also great with a butter lemon sauce on them, hot of course.

Christine that is exactly how My sister and I thought of sprouts when we were little...... baby cabbages!!

We don't wait for Christmas to eat them, I would eat them all year round.

After steaming and cooking them to a
nice soft ,( but not soggy) toss them in butter with a few sesame seeds.... beautiful.

We have more recipes..... on the same theme, use instead, chopped veg of your choice....
onions, chives, dried tomatoes.... anything you like with a nice strong taste.

You can dry your own tomatoes in the oven... slice, slightly oil with olive oil, salt lightly, and dry slowly... when cold put them in a jar with olive oil. they will not last as long as the bought ones will, but they don't have to...... you will eat them quickly!!

Should we start a newspaper campaign for free the sprout

ps......shame about the side effect....

I have been waiting for the good old sprout to come into season Dawnie.....my Dad used to say, they are no good until you get a good frost on them.......anyway MiL bought some last week and said they were lovely.....

Armed with my trolley, I bought a huge bag of them, and a swede, and had them with some lovely beef on Sunday......I am using the rest this week.....

....I do love a good sprout.....

Try Roasting with Goose Fat Daff. You,ll enjoy them better. But after eating don,t get too close to "Naked Flames". **M** :o)))>.

Have a Japanese student staying with me at moment and gave her sprouts for dinner she thought they were baby cabbages and asked how we grow them so small, had to bring a plant from allotment to show her, she loves them as we do. Save our sprout I agree.
