Glad you brought this up. I had nearly forgotten this recipe I posted here four years ago. I must make it this week to go with some grilled rib eyes I have planned.
It's really good.

Please, (a foreigner asks) what is "hominy". I gather it could be some sort of grain?
Dried corn kernals processed in lyme. Sold canned here, and frequently used in Southern and Latin American cooking.

I think I'm going to set up a support group for the poor brussels sprout - "Are you small, round and green? Do bigger vegetables kick sand in your face? Do humans turn their backs when they see you? Join the Sprout Action Society (AKA the SAS)."Ahhhh, but those things are the right color. I'll get my antioxidants from spinach and kale, never the evil brussel sprouts.

I love them. Eat them regularly in winter and Christmas dinner wouldn't be the same without them. (I don't touch the ones imported from the southern hemisphere in summer they're tasteless) Read the BS section in Jane Grigson's veg book and try some of the recipes. I promise you you'll be converted. The secret is not to boil them to mush.
Up with brussels sprouts - down with kale!
Can I be a member of the SAS? It's always strange to see people who love cabbage or kale turn their noses up at Brussels sprouts. Reminds me of a friend who would NOT eat liverwurst but liked Braunschweiger.
no no no....BS's taste nothing like kale or cabbage. If bacon can't save those little devils nothing can!

I'm all in! Love to take the sprouts, peel the leaves off, saute them in some bacon fat, drizzle with some maple syrup and some chopped bacon.Me too! I just love sprouts.
A bit of pre-conceived opinion, ducky? No, they don't taste like kale or cabbage but they're just as good or as icky in that strangely cruciferous way depending...... And they're so CUTE!
They have a bitter flavor that not everyone enjoys.
Those people must have a more developed taste for bitterness.
Are they the same people who don't like cilantro?Actually, it just means they have more taste buds for bitter flavors than the average person, due to natural variation.
