I guess you could say this dinner was born out of a “fridge cleaning” experiment. About 3 weeks ago I bought a Costco sized bag of Brussels Sprouts. I never got to them in the time before they turned into….well, you know. A few days before Thanksgiving I fell victim to the same giant bag of Brussels Sprouts. I can’t help myself, I really love them and always have great designs on using them. Well, this time I managed to do just that. AND….the kids liked them both times. SCORE! Anyway, they were calling my name last night. This is what it sounded like….
“Heather please use us before we turn to mushy spheres of goo. We don’t want you to feel bad when you throw us in the trash – again!!”
It went something like that.
I decided to give them some Thai flare with yellow and red curry and some light coconut milk as well. I would have never guessed that Brussels Sprouts and Curry would ever taste good together, but I was wrong. Dead wrong.
If you’re not a Brussels Sprouts fan, you could always add some broccoli instead. But I say – give the Brussels a chance. If you don’t boil them or cook them for 30 minutes, they are quite tasty and still have a crunch to them. These aren’t your Mother’s Brussels Sprouts! Ok, they aren’t my Mothers. I hope you give this recipe a try! Let me know if you do.

This was great! Served with roasted potatoes instead of rice. I also used green, rather than red, curry paste (it was what I had, but it worked!). Thanks!
Very good! A new and interesting way to use brussel sprouts. The only thing I did differently was to steam the brussels for about 7 minutes before sautéing them. They don’t lose their crunchiness and it cuts down on time in the skillet. Without steaming them first, I don’t think they would be cooked enough. Thanks!!
unbelievably amazing!
omg! I just made this recipe yesterday and it was delicious. My boyfriend loved it. Will totally make a gain!
Brussel sprouts – such an under valued veg.
Heather, I can’t wait to make this!
This is what I am talkin’ about! Love the flavors here. I have never used coconut milk with tilapia. Can’t wait to try!
Wow! This looks so flavorful and delicious. A very different use for brussel sprouts.
heehee, did I mention, my “G” loves BrusselSprouts? :>)
OH this sounds good. I want to eat more fish and have ordered tilapia in restaurants. I need to learn where to buy good fish in town.
nom nom in my mouth! love anything thai, and anything on a bed of white rice. I’m with you on brown rice, I’m always too starving to wait for it.
