Frexy you are keen to make them sprouts tender for Xmas i start boiling mine Feb 1st perhap i like them a little more crunchy then you. I will order the Turkey next week as well.LOL

Do you put a cross in the stalk end of them to make sure water gets right in Frexy? Oh and while they are bubbling away I have found something to do.

Its about time thre sprouts were bubbling away for this Christmas,got to make sure they are nice and tender.

i love to have some bite to my veg, but you could always par boil if prefered

Do your parboil Crystal - I just usually stir fry but they tend to be too crunchy - love crunchy but there is something amiss

Hi Nash the dragon, have got a recipe for sauted sprout with bacon and chestnuts (christmas recipe). I left out the chestnuts as not to my taste this was a tasty new treat and very different to boiled sprouts my son & partner couldn't get enough. will pass on recipe if you would like.

thanks Goldie, yes they are and i also saw a recipe i believe, Gary Rhodes made bubble and squeak soup. But im afraid im off to work now so will have to look into it later... Mind you if its a Gary recipe your gonna need the book!!

The spongy ones Flaky? can they be used in the bath?

I really love sprouts too but I have yet to find a frozen one I like I'm afraid - they are a little too spongy for me. I suppose they could be ok if just de-frosted and then stir fried maybe? Don't know - but they're not for me.

Personally, I quite enjoy the break from them because then when they get back in the shops I buy loads and can pig out on them! What a saddo eh? hee hee

LOL Nash,I think if aunt bessie did sprouts,they'd have to be coated in batter.....ummm,now there's a thought

Seriously,frozen sprouts are just as good as unfrozen ones (ha,ha) I didn't know how to describe them.
You can eat them all year and I tend to cook them a little longer than normal.They are ok

The bubble and squeak cakes sound lovely snoozy!!

i luv em!!! what about bubble and squeek cakes?? soup is also as sugested a great idea, thats what i did with the left overs from my exmas day dinner.

yes very lucky she likes all veg except swede, the soup is a good idea but ive always shyed away from frozen sprouts as I dont think they taste as good as the fresh ones ....but has all that changed now is aunt bessie doin sprouts now

Just buy frozen sprouts Nash and then use them as and when.Aren't you lucky your daughter likes sprouts?

Can't say I share your enthusiasm for them but how about a sprout, bacon and chestnut soup? Don't have a recipe as I tend to make soups up on the spot.
