\nBrussels sprouts and the”supertaster” gene<\/h2>\n

So if you are looking for new ways to enjoy these cute, but somewhat unloved little cabbages, here is yet another way to bring naysayers into sharing in on the love. Which by the way, some of this lack of love is sometimes left up to pure genetics. You might actually be born to hate sprouts. There is a certain gene that causes some people to recognize an extreme bitterness in brassicas. Let\u2019s call it the “supertaster” gene (TAS2R38<\/a> to be specific). Maybe a good excuse to never have to eat them ever again, but I really hope you\u2019ll try this Brussels sprouts recipe. I personally find it highly addictive.<\/p>\n

\nTips for ingredients<\/h2>\n

Brussels sprouts<\/strong>. Get the freshest sprouts you can find. Best is to try and choose similar sized, small ones and slice them in half. But if you have a mix of small and big, then slice any large sprouts into quarters. <\/a><\/p>\n

Sriracha Sauce<\/strong>. Sriracha lends just the right amount of spicy tang to this dish (and any other vegetable).<\/p>\n

Maple Syrup<\/strong>. Canadian is the only option here. So use the real stuff.<\/p>\n

Japanese Rice Vinegar.<\/strong> Japanese is key here. Other varieties are incomparable. And be sure it\u2019s unseasoned. We are talking sushi rice vinegar. Makes everything taste great.<\/p>\n

What to serve with maple Sriracha Brussels sprouts<\/h2>\n

Okay, admittably I can eat a plate of this with pretty much everything. But it is especially good with salmon and salmon frikadelle. Or try it with grilled duck breast.<\/p>\n
