I made these miso Brussels sprouts to prove my husband who hates Brussels sprouts that they can be delicious. I totally won. He loved them! It’s so incredible that we keep saying that we don’t like things just because we don’t know how to make the best out of them!

For many years I thought that I don’t like cauliflower but it came out I just don’t like cauliflower boiled in water, which is not surprising as there is not much taste left of it after boiling. There is so much more than just boring boiled cauliflower! I’ve recently made a fantastic vegan cauliflower stew and it’s one of my favorites at the moment.

So, Brussels sprouts haters, you have a chance to change the way you think about Brussels sprouts right now. You will be addicted to these savory halves filled with cheesy stuffing and topped with parmesan.

Dip them in peanut miso dip and you’ll get the most out of them! Serve them for parties as finger food and enjoy receiving compliments from your guests. They will love them, I promise.

Fantastic finger food recipe for any occasion.These little boats have everything an ideal dish has: a creamy stuffing with cheese and chives, a little crunch from parmesan, chewy Brussel sprouts’ shells, a nice salty umami taste of miso which is enhanced by parmesan, a vibrant sourness of lime, a pleasant sweet touch of peanuts, a bit of bitterness and astringency from Brussels sprouts and a pungent hint of chili oil…

A perfect balance of textures, tastes and temperatures. It’s no wonder we ate them all in minutes and I made a second batch on the next day. This recipe will make you love Brussels sprouts even if you think you hate them.

It’s truly wonderful how cooking methods can make you love or hate certain food. It’s all about experimenting, being creative and combining things. Please, don’t boil your Brussels sprouts in water ever again. And cauliflower. Let them be stars and give them a chance to become one of your favorite vegetables by treating them right!

Here is a recipe for my miso Brussels Sprouts.

It takes a while to make, but I assure you, it’s worth every minute!

Instructions

  • Blanch Brussels sprouts in a pot with boiling salted water for 3 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Cut the Brussels sprouts in halves. Using a fruit baller or a teaspoon scoop out the inside of each half. Put the empty shells on a baking tray. Chop the inside of Brussels sprouts and garlic with a knife or use a chopper like the one I use from Tupperware.
  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and chopped Brussels sprouts. Cook for about 5 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 ºC or 360 ºF. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, light miso paste, lime juice, chives, soy sauce and a bit of black pepper. Add garlic with Brussels sprouts once they are ready.
  • Fill every half with a stuffing using a teaspoon. Sprinkle with grated parmesan and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
  • Make a peanut miso dip: combine light miso paste, lime juice, soy sauce, chili oil, garlic, ginger and a bit of black pepper. Blend with an immersion or standing blender. Gradually add water until you like the consistency.
  • Garnish with cilantro leaves (optional) and serve stuffed Brussels sprouts with peanut miso dip. Enjoy!
