Another gross Halloween dish for the kids! It appears that brussels sprouts are fine for kids to eat when smothered in cheese and go by the name Gorilla Tonsils ! Ingredients:
2 dozen brussels sprouts |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 ounces american cheese, grated |
2 tablespoons milk |
10 -12 iceberg lettuce leaves |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
Directions:
1. Wash the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored leaves. Trim off the stem ends and cut an X into the bottom of each sprout to make sure your tonsils cook nice and tender. Place the sprouts in a pot containing about 2 inches of water and sprinkle with the salt. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until boiling. After 8 to 10 minutes, carefully stab a few sprouts with a fork to see if they're tender. When you can easily pierce them through to their centers, remove the pot from the heat and carefully drain the sprouts in a colander.
2. Place the grated cheese in a small saucepan and add the milk. Simmer over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until the cheese melts. Remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as the cheese melts. Arrange a bed of washed lettuce leaves on a platter. Place the gorilla tonsils - in pairs, of course - on the leaves. Drizzle the melted cheese (pus) over the tonsils. Sprinkle with paprika (blood specks) and serve.
