Best recipe ever! Julia Childs never suggested pilfering ingredients from coffee shops, but I like it.

….and while a Chimay would of course be a good choice to wash them down with, try an Alsatian Gewurtztraminer…..

sounds like a great way to eat sprouts!!! For more Belgian dishes go to the Little Glutton website.

Just to clarify your comment on “brown sugar doesn’t belong in coffee…”. This should read, “No sugar belongs in coffee” A good cup of the brown juice from the gods shouldn’t be sweetened up to taste like an ice tea from Georgia (maybe a touch of cream to take down the acidity is okay).

great recipe, They are delicious when cooked like this, you forgot the mainstay of Belgian spices Nutmeg. Add it during the sauteeing part with the hippy sugar.

Sounds good, I’ll give it a try the next time I buy sprouts.

My favorite way to cook them is to cut in half, then coat with olive oil, salt and pepper. Fry the flat sides golden brown to dark brown in a cast iron skillet, covered. Turn over on the round side for 5 minutes and you’re done. Total time is less than 20 minutes.

Thanks for the recipe Joe, I never thought of beer for prepping the Sprouts! I usually just toss them with olive oil and roast them in the oven.

I think they get their bad rap from being in the cabbage family; they can produce a lot of gas in many digestive systems.
