Traveling throughout the country, visiting farms and farmer's markets is my favorite thing to do. I love learning about the bountiful harvest produced by American farmers. One of the best things about the fall harvest is the brussels sprout; it's a delightful vegetable that can be prepared in many ways. One of my favorite ways to enjoy these little cabbages is to create a gratin, a French dish similar to macaroni and cheese but made with vegetables. I've been making this dish for years, and it's always a hit with my family and friends.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS GRATIN (FOOD NETWORK MAGAZINE)
From the LEARN TO LOVE IT section of the Food Network Magazine. They wrote, "If you think you can't stand Brussels sprouts, give this cheesy dish a try." Well, I like Brussels sprouts, but thought I'd give it a try anyway. Rich, creamy dish. I made exactly as the original recipe called for (which I have copied here), but in the future I wouldn't use quite so many breadcrumbs (the breading on top seemed a little thick and heavy). But delicious and pretty easy to make! (Recipe copied from FOOD NETWORK MAGAZINE, November 2010 Issue, Pg. 68)

Since Brussels sprouts are considered by some a traditional Thanksgiving side dish, I decided to give this one I saw on prepared on Cookworks (FoodTV). Even though it is a pretty rich side dish, everyone loved the flavor of the sauce (besides it is a feast day!).

BRUSSELS SPROUTS GRATIN
The most indulgent way to eat any vegetable is to bathe it in cream and top it with cheese, but few benefit from that treatment as much as brussels sprouts do. Whether or not you decide to top them with crispy bread crumbs (you should), the end result is a decadent, but never too heavy, side dish that could easily become your main course.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS GRATIN WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS WS
From Williams Sonoma. My step-daughter asked me to make this to convince her DH that Brussels sprouts were worth eating. W-S is no longer carrying the 8-oz. jars of Caramelized Brussels Sprouts, but Ina Garten's recipe seems to match the jar's ingredients listing; 1 pound of shallots will yield just over 1 cup of caramelized shallots. DH thought the red wine vinegar made these shallots "pickle-y", so I will try balsamic vinegar next time. The shallots may be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. Given the unpredictability of Brussels sprouts off-season, I'm betting on Green Giant Steamable Brussels Sprouts, thawed: I have to SELL these sprouts to a non-believer! We thought this recipe had too many things going on and nothing stood out; the Brussels sprouts could have been broccoli (except broccoli would have disintegrated totally in this treatment)

CHEESY GRATIN OF BRUSSELS SPROUTS
From Family Fun magazine. My sister in law made this at Christmas and it was great!! Here is what FF had to say: With its creamy cheese sauce and accent of bacon, this decadent recipe may tempt even the green-vegetable averse. It can be made early in the day, refrigerated, then baked before mealtime. (If you're simply not a sprout fan, you can substitute one very large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets.)

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet and crisp-cook the bacon. Transfer it to a plate and set it aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from the pan. Add the onion to the pan and saute over medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes; add the garlic for the last minute. Scrape the onions and garlic into a large, shallow casserole and spread them around evenly. Set aside.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts, then cut them in half (or quarters, if very large) lengthwise. Bring a large soup pot of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the Brussels sprouts. Return to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain immediately in a colander for 5 minutes. Transfer to the casserole, spreading the sprouts evenly in the dish. Set aside. Heat the oven to 375°F.
- Combine the milk and chicken broth in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the flour and cook, stirring over medium heat, for about 1 minute, until the flour is light golden brown. Whisk in half of the hot milk and broth. Heat and whisk for a minute or so, until thick. Add the remaining liquid and cook for about 5 minutes, whisking frequently.
- Whisk in the Parmesan cheese, mustard, salt, thyme, and pepper. Pour the sauce evenly over the Brussels sprouts. Mince the bacon and sprinkle it over the sauce. Sprinkle evenly with the Cheddar cheese and dust lightly with paprika, if desired.
- Place the casserole on the center oven rack and bake for 30 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Makes 10 servings.
Tips:
- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for bright green, tightly packed sprouts. Avoid any that are yellowed or have brown spots.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any outer leaves that are damaged or discolored.
- Blanch the Brussels sprouts: This helps to tenderize them and bring out their sweetness. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the Brussels sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Shred the Brussels sprouts: You can use a food processor or a grater to shred the Brussels sprouts. If using a food processor, be careful not to over-shred them, as you want them to retain some texture.
- Use a variety of cheeses: The combination of Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar cheeses in this recipe creates a rich and flavorful gratin. You can also use other cheeses that you like, such as Swiss, Gouda, or Fontina.
- Don't overcook the gratin: The gratin is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the Brussels sprouts are tender. Overcooking will make the Brussels sprouts mushy and the gratin dry.
Conclusion:
Brussels sprouts gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its cheesy, creamy sauce and tender Brussels sprouts, this gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
