Purple Brussels Sprouts

With a sweet, delicate flavor and nutty finish, these purple sprouts from the Netherlands are guaranteed to light up your dinner plate. As much a treat for the eye as they are for the tongue, their regal-colored leaves range from deep purples to light violets—a quality that may even convince the fussiest of little eaters to give them a try. Steam, sauté, or slow roast them in butter and serve up in a veggie medley, or try adding them to soups and casseroles.
