Notes
I use a mandoline to shred Brussels sprouts. So if you have one, now is the time to break it out (be extra careful and be sure to use the protective holder / safety attachment!). Alternatively, a food processor can be used.
How to shred Brussels sprouts without a mandoline or food processor: trim the ends of the sprouts. Then cut them in half. Lay the cut-side-down and finely chop until they are all shredded.
