    Hi all,

    Well, sprouts were 50p a large bag (fresh) on tesco online so I've gotten a bag and now realise other than boiling the lot up (there is only me and my OH) and eating them 2 days in a row I don't know what to do with them!

    Don't fancy sprout soup!

    They freeze beautifully. Prepare them ready to cook, get a big pan of water on the boil and drop them in for about three minutes. Then dunk them in icy water for the same amount of time, drain well and freeze.
    You will only need to cook them for about five minutes (depends how big they are) when you want them.

  • My dad chops them up, fries them up in a pan with a bit of butter, adds a drop of chicken stock, loads of garlic, and caraway seeds. He swears by it and apparently you can't taste them. They put them on my plate on xmas day and were part covered in bread sauce which I thought I was eating only to find it was white bloody sprouts. I can't stand them so it caused a row! Can't have Xmas day without them!!!! (Rows and sprouts apparently!)

    My large bag was only 21p in the co-op - but we love them and will eat them 2 days in a row no problem! We may need a gas mask but with the storms forecast I think it will "blow" away fine!!!
    Saving in my terramundi pot £2, £1 and 50p just for me! :j
