You can use these brussel sprout recipes right through the winter for healthy eating recipes.

Brussels sprouts are an essential part of the Thanksgiving and Christmas meals and are also a great little vegetable to use at any time.

They have a distinctive flavor, and are at their sweetest and best after the first frosts.

Choose small brussels sprouts, about the size of a walnut. They should be firm and the leaves bright green and tightly packed.

Avoid large ones, or any that are yellowing, or where the leaves are slightly open. Good, firm brussel sprouts will keep for 3-4 days loosely wrapped in the fridge.

How to prepare brussel sprouts
Trim off the end of the stalk and peel away any loose outer leaves. Prepare 8-10 sprouts per person. You can cut a cross in the end of the stalk if that's the way you've always done it, but I don't believe it makes any difference to the way they cook, and could even encourage them to lose shape.

Halve any sprouts that are on the large side. As you prepare each sprout, drop it into a bowl of salted water to bring out any beasties lurking inside. When all are prepared, drain and rinse well under cold water.
