I used this recipe for week 26 of my food blog, “Travel by Stove.” I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Belgium is my 26th stop. I never use any recipe for my blog that I’m not reasonably sure is from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. Please beware: I didn’t like this recipe because I find Brussels sprouts bitter enough without the addition of dark beer. You need to be a fan of that bitter flavor to appreciate this dish. If you don’t think you are, please don’t make this.

These taste wonderful with mashed potatoes. (To make mashed potatoes the Belgian way, you also put some nutmeg in with the salt and pepper) I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do. Endives are a little bitter, but cooked they are sometimes a mixture of bitter and sweet.
Something aromatic, bright and snappy for your Thanksgiving table, or anytime! Or so says Julia Moskin as per New York Times article, 11/15/2006. This particular recipe comes from The Union Square Cafe Cookbook. We tried this with yellow mustard seeds. It was different and delicious cold the next day. I am a fan of hashed brussels sprouts, which I learned courtesy of Sugarpea’s husband, who created Brussels Sprouts Mojo #80110. Made for Thanksgiving 2006.
I love the distinctive tastes of gruyere cheese, chicory and ham together and regularly make this in the winter as a main course to warm everyone up from top to toe when the rain is lashing down outside and they come in from the cold, … hearty comfort food 🙂 Gruyere cheese gives this recipe a flavour all of its own. Enjoy!
