    This is my new favorite way to cook Brussels Sprouts. I LOVED them with the parmesan cheese. - 3/11/13

    Made this tonight - was pretty good. I went a little overboard with the food processor, and the sprouts ended up pretty well shredded - like cole slaw. It still worked well with the recipe and turned out to be a unexpectedly great way to cook sprouts! Will make again. - 11/19/08

    Does this only work with fresh, or do you think frozen would work too?
    Sounds yummy! - 11/15/08

    I suspect only fresh ones. Frozen ones would probably get mushy because of the ice embedded in them when you tried to saute. I get a big bag of fresh ones from Costco. You could also check a local farmer's market.
