Creamed Brussels Sprouts Recipe – Oma's Rosenkohl Rezept 

Oma Gerhild

by: Gerhild Fulson  / Oma Gerhild shares easy, authentic German recipes you can trust, rooted in family tradition and featured in her cookbooks.

The Brussel sprouts recipe, aka Rosenkohlthat I grew up with was always a treat. Mutti kept them for special dinners, because they were quite expensive where we lived.

I kept that tradition ... only for special, until I realized that I could buy them less expensively frozen and have similar results as fresh. So, I learned how to cook Brussel sprouts just the way my Mutti made them.

It's an easy way. It's a quick way. These little cabbages that have a bold taste and make a wonderful side dish that fits to most meats.

Brussels Sprouts or Brussel Sprouts?

Now before I go any further, I need to clarify this. Sometimes I see this written as Brussels Sprouts and sometimes as Brussel Sprouts.

I know it best with the "s", but some leave it off. Either way, they are delicious when prepared properly. Really! 

For those who 'hate' Brussels Sprouts ...

Even though we love them, there are people who absolutely hate them. May I suggest this recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts ... they are absolutely wunderbar! I think you'll love them this way as well.


Oma says:

I have to admit when I was first married, I rarely cooked these little "cabbages". I really don't know why. 

I loved them when Mutti made them. Once I started to make them for company, this became one of my best vegetable recipes that my husband asked for. He'd see the frozen sprouts at the store and make his request.

They've actually become the most common veggies that I now make! Well this and red cabbage, of course!


Did you know ...

 ... that this simple side dish is one of the TOP 10 traditional side dishes to serve with Rouladen? Really.


Ready for some yummy Brussel Sprouts?
