Grilled Brussel Sprouts with Prosciutto #recipe from Linda Wiken, author

I'm still in the summer mode of not turning on large indoor appliances as the heat wave continues. So, here's a side I tried last week and paired it with a salmon filet, although it would work nicely with chicken or meat.

You may recognize it...I did post it for a few hours last week until I realized the error of my ways. Lucy Burdette and I take turns on Thursdays and we had agreed to do a switch last week. Guess who forgot! And worse yet, I had it written down. Anyway, I'm forgiven and here is my post.

What I learned along the way was you might want to parboil the brussel sprouts first, although that does involve turning the stove on. Or, maybe pre-grill the sprouts until the char is starting, then wrap them in prosciutto and stick them on the grill again to add that extra salty flavor.

The original recipe calls for maple syrup to be brushed on the sprouts first but I used two different types of jelly instead, alternating them: a red pepper one for a sweet taste, and a tangerine and chili pepper for a definite zip. My favorite turned out to be the red pepper.


What you'll need: (for two)


8 brussel sprouts
4 slices of prosciutto
red pepper jelly
tangerine and










What to do:

1. Preheat grill.

2. Wash brussel sprouts, discarding damaged leaves and cutting off stems.

3. Dab some jelly of your choice to the individual sprouts and then wrap with a slice of cut prosciutto.
    Stick a toothpick in each.







4. Place brussel sprouts on grill for approximately 30 minutes, turning frequently.




5. Serve with seafood or meat or poultry of your choice?
