Panfried Brussels Sprouts With a New Flavour

"Well, on Zaar we have done lots and lots of interesting things with brussels sprouts, to improve the popularity of the nutritious little green balls! Here is yet another quick and easy variation. (About liquor: even if you don't serve liquor in your house, but have no other objection, it's worth keeping bottles of sherry, brandy, port, vermouth, liqueurs and wines tucked away on a pantry shelf! Comes in so handy in cooking, and remember, the alcohol burns away. Buy one type per month to spread the expense, until you have a little hoard just for cooking. They last for years!)"

  2. I love my Brussels sprouts and love making them different ways. This was simple, yet had nice flavor. I did use the dry vermouth and the caraway seeds. I love caraway seeds! I wouldn't hesitate to use half caraway and half flaked almonds next time. Thanx, Zurie!
