would 45 minutes hard boiling be enough to cook brussel sprouts?

[sandyRoe]

I wouldn't want them underdone.

I'm no Gordon Ramsay but surely that would just turn them to mush?

[snags]

45 minutes at least... ideally you want the sprouts to disintegrate in to green mush when drained...

Isn't that a whiffey joke? ;-)

Forget you cooking the sprouts, give em to me, i love em.

I'm under instructions from Mr Boo not to put any "of those poisonious little green b@st@rds" on his plate on Christmas day.

All the more for me then!

You could be in a bit of bother with the sprouts there Sandy....mine have been gently bubbling since Easter Monday.....old family tradition....then on Christmas morning they are just about right!

Buy the ones in a see-through packet from Tescos- bung in microwave for 3 minutes- perfect.

[Mosaic]

I tend to get them started in June, you wouldn't want them underdone.

[thugulike]

Don't panic! B&M have them in tins. Shudder

[ChuckFickens]

A small thermonuclear device should be sufficient for sprouts.

I love sprouts..........parboil mine for about 3 minutes, drain, then fry in butter for a couple of minutes.......lush with black pepper.

[B00]

Never tried em fried- they as good that way?

[craft1948]

Gorgeous Boo.......you can fry them with lardons in goose fat as well...

[tiggerblue10]

I would just simmer them for about 10 - 15 mins. Nothing worse than soggy sprouts which is nomrally what I get at my mums so I smother them in gravy.

[Bbbananas]

There's not a lot I don't like, but I don't like brussels.....

[craft1948]

There you go............
