Pureed Sprouts

[luckystrike]

Does anyone have any tips for making pureed sprouts (sprouts and cream) more exciting?

I’m thinking along the lines of seasonings or festive additives?

Thanks very much!

I'm with mccfluff - thinly slice them on a mandolin and stir-fry them.

I got this recipe a few years ago and have used it ever since.... Shred your sprouts (like you do cabbage) and stir fry them in butter salt and pepper and lemon juice...they have a lovely nutty taste this way..

thanks to ethandron for the creamy sprout gratin recipe.... made for it christmas dinner and it went down a treat....the whole flat smelled like bacon and i used panko for the crumb topping....would certainly do it again...

thanks and happy new year

oh yeah, for the creamed sprouts...did you use "regular" chestnuts or the cooked/processed vacuum packed ones???
