Grilled Brussels Sprout


I found the recipe for these on Pinterest, thanks to Rosemarried from Portland.

Ingredients

15-20 Brussels sprouts

1 tsp mustard

1/2 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp olive oil

Black pepper to taste

Method

Put the sprouts untrimmed into boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Drain and then quickly cool with cold water.

Combine the other four ingredients to make the marinade.

Trim the stalk and any outer leaves that are blemished then toss the Brussels sprouts through the marinade until thoroughly coated. The original recipe called for a 30 minute standing time which I did, but I'm not sure how much it added to the flavour.

Thread onto bamboo skewers and grill on a BBQ or under the grill for 3-5 minutes. It was a rainy day today so I went with the indoor grill.

I estimate there are approximately 31 cal (130kj) for each skewer with 4 sprouts per skewer.

My husband loved these but I found the mustard too strong for the sprouts. The sprouts were cooked perfectly, crunchy yet tender, not over cooked and bitter. I will definitely be trying this again but I will try a different marinade next time. I'll keep you posted.
