I like any recipe with brussel sprouts in it so this one really caught my eye - I changed it to a cold salad and when I took out the bacon I left the drippings in the skillet and added a 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts - sautéed them for about a minute then added the walnuts to a bowl with 4 TBS brown sugar and gave them thorough coating and then put them in the freezer for 20 minutes along with the bacon bits. For the brussel sprouts I took frozen sprouts soaked in hot water until they are cuttable and halved them then steamed them in the micro for about one minute then put them in the fridge to cool. I tossed the salad with the sprouts bacon and sugar coated walnuts and served them chilled. Yummy! Read More

This was just okay though I give points for the idea of thinly slicing the brussel sprouts - now I'll do that any time I prepare them! It could be because I'm not crazy about caraway seed except in rye bread or (with a light hand) in sauerkraut. I would make this again but leave out that particular seasoning. Read More

YUM! Needs a little salt and I left out the caraway seeds. Very tasty although I used olive oil instead of veggie oil and basalmic insteat of white wine vinegar. I doubt that it made that much of a difference. I'll definitely make this again! Read More
