CSA Day with a Side of Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Lemon Vinaigrette

This dish just screams fall to me — so even though there were no Brussels sprouts in my CSA share this week, I couldn’t get these off my mind. When I first wrote about these Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Lemon Vinaigrette, the photos just didn’t do them justice. I mean, when you have a dish this mouthwatering, the photos should make everyone drool. I’ll be the first to admit that the photos from my old post didn’t do that.
Fresh Brussels sprouts are cut into rounds. It really has to be fresh ones — I’ve tried this with frozen sprouts and it just didn’t do the dish justice.
Then they are sauteed until tender and browned in spots. Finally, sauteed garlic is whisked with lemon juice and olive oil. That dressing is tossed with the sprouts and voila! You have this amazing, droolworthy dish of tangy veggies.
This has been a staple dish at every family function since I first created it. Everyone in the family loves it. Scroll down for the recipe … you really want to try this.

I love this b/c I love brussel sprouts! I’m going to try this with Friday’s dinner.
What’s CSA?
Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite things in the fall! I’ve got to get some and reintroduce them to my family again!
I don’t know many people that LOVE brussels sprouts, but I do! Like most veggies, I prefer the fresh, but the frozen work too. I actually have a bag in my fridge now so I’m going to try this out this week; thanks for the recipe.
Brussels Sprouts is a new found “like” for me (last year) – this one looks delicious!
Ohhhhh I’m drooling! I read that salting Brussels sprouts really well is the key to bringing out the flavor. I ADORE them! I blogged about a similar recipe here: http://quidquidquidquid.blogspot.com/2010/02/sunday-dinner-baked-chicken-legs.html
