Used to hate brussel sprouts as a kid. Hated them like crazy. It wasn't until adulthood that the only reason for this hatred was that I'd had only eaten them frozen and boiled into oblivion. Cooked in a less harsh fashion. They are quite tasty.
White bean/avocado sauce:
A can of cannelinni beans (drained)
half an avocado
three healthy spoonfuls of tahini
1/4 onion
a clove of garlic (more if you are not making out with anybody)
salt
one serrano pepper
Chop up all the veggies, toss in a blender with everything else, give it a whir and that's it.
Brussel Sprouts:
two small bell peppers
1 lb. of fresh brussel sprouts
olive oil, salt, pepper
a dash or two of soy sauce
Cut the ends off the sprouts, cut 'em into bite size pieces, wash those puppies. Then toss them with olive oil, salt and pepper and put them in the oven (at 325 or so) for about ten minutes or until they are starting to get crispy and brown on the edge. Stir fry the bell peppers in some oil, add the brussel sprouts and soy sauce and cook and stir until everything is mixed.
Polenta:
I just used the box stuff, boil water, stir, done. It is probably simple to make your own. For another time...
Put polenta in a bowl, glob on some bean sauce, and throw on the brussel sprouts.
Happy Eating!
