What used to be an unusual and under-appreciated addition to the dinner table, has slowly crept its way into the mainstream, if not trendy, culinary scene. Brussels sprouts are dense and chewy with a distinct flavor and consistency, but in the right hands, they blossom into a show-stopping savory side dish. Chefs of Eastern descent have embraced the Brussels sprout for centuries, while recent veggie trends have inspired local chefs to experiment with these mini heads of cabbage. While tossed in sesame and soy is a typical presentation, this variety presents the Brussels sprouts as a warm and hearty dish, baked with Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs until slightly crispy and golden brown. Enjoy a large serving on its own or serve as a side to any meat or Italian main.
