Brussels Sprouts Slaw #KitchenMatrixCookingProject

Fresh, delicious Brussels Sprouts, shredded and tossed with a light dressing and crunch peanuts makes the perfect Fall salad.


Join us as we check out all the different Brussels Sprouts recipes available in The Kitchen Matrix Cookbook by Mark Bittman......



I love going to the Farmer's Markets during this time of year.  The displays are overflowing with gorgeous, seasonal bounty.  I am like a kid in a candy store.  I don't know what to grab first.



One of the first things that catches my eye are those huge stalks of Brussels Sprouts.  They look kind of foreign, cut right from the garden.  We are so used to seeing Brussels Sprouts cut off the stalk and packaged in cellophane at the grocers.


So I was very happy when I saw a new recipe after my friend Karen, of Karen's Kitchen Stories, invited Cam, of Culinary Adventures with Camilla, and I to explore Slaws this week in our Kitchen Matrix Cooking Project.

Many of you know that Asparagus is my very favorite Spring Vegetable.  I eat it every chance I get while it is in season.

Well, Brussels Sprouts is my go to favorite veggie in the Fall.  I LOVE them!!  I toss them with Cranberries and roast them.  I serve them warm as a slaw with bacon or quickly sauteed as a warm salad.  


Bittman has 8 different ideas for makings slaw.  I chose his easy and delicious recipe that we paired with Pulled Pork Sandwiches.  This made the perfect dinner to welcome in the Fall Season.

Let's see which recipes inspired Cam and Karen this week.





And here is the slaw that I chose to make with very slight adaptations to the original.  Miracle Whip instead of Mayo and the addition of lime zest.  Other than that pretty true to form.  This has a distinctive Asian feel to it and will be revisited the next time I am looking for a side to pair with Asian Food.

  1. Shredded sprouts are so versatile. Remember the old days when it seemed all anyone would do is cook the bejeezuss out of Brussies then bury them in cheese sauce? Decades later, things are so much better!
