Author Notes: Brussels sprouts are one of those unfortunate vegetables with a bad reputation. Therefore, I had never been attracted to them, especially since I didn’t grow up eating them. However, upon hearing all of the wonderful health benefits they boast, I thought I’d give them a try. I decided to mask their bitter taste and play on their cabbage flavor by pairing them with sourkraut. I apologize in advance for offending any Germans or sourkraut purists. —TheFatWitch
