Sometimes you are never sure what the source of a
recipe is. They get passed on from one person to another and frequently get a
little modified (muddled) in the passing on. Often these are the recipes that
one treasures. This one I was assured was worth trying.
Some Brussels sprouts were washed and the
ends cut into a cross shape. They then went into a baking dish with a little
olive oil and salt and pepper. They went into a 200ªC oven for 45 minutes.
This seemed a long time to me but on the first try I always follow the recipe.
They had blackened somewhat when I took them out—and I would have to say that I
did lower the temperature towards the end of the cooking.
They were dribbled with honey and
sprinkled with dukkah while they were still hot. The sprouts were then served on a base of
hummus with more dukkah sprinkled over.
I’m a little unsure of this one. The flavour
was good but the sprouts had collapsed inside to a sort of puree while the
outside leaves were on the crispy side. I feel I would perhaps like to cook
them for a lesser time and retain a little bit more body to them. They are
certainly worth trying again.
