you're 90% of the way to turning this into a lovely vegetable instead of something your kids will still be sitting at the dinner table at midnight because they refuse to eat the whole ones, and I don't blame them for that. I know of no cooking method that will not result in a whole sprout being slimy on the outside and raw and bitter on the inside. Yuck.

This looks good and I even have a block of Parmesan somewhere in the fridge. All I need are some sprouts.
