Garlic Brussel Sprouts

Garlic Brussel Sprouts is one of my husband's all-time favorite side dishes.  In fact, I'm pretty sure he could eat the entire batch! Brussel sprouts have a rounded bitter flavor which pairs beautifully with fragrant garlic.

I like to buy the Brussel sprouts already shredded.  If you choose to shred them yourself, use a mandolin slicer to finely slice the sprout while you hold the stem.  Discard the stems when done. Thoroughly wash the Brussel sprouts after shredding. It's hard to wash them when they are whole because they are like tiny cabbages, tightly closed.

Garlic Brussel Sprouts are a great compliment to rich or fatty dishes.  I like to serve them as a side for roasts or steaks. The umami flavor in the meat pairs so perfectly.  Fish is also an excellent pairing because the bitter undertones in the Brussel sprouts balance the fatty, oily, fishy taste.  And one of my family’s favorites is serving them as a side to macaroni and cheese.  They compliment the heavy, creamy cheese.
