Shredded Brussels Sprouts With Lemon and Poppy Seeds

Shredded Brussels Sprouts With Lemon and Poppy Seeds

"Brussels sprouts were always a favorite of mine, but my mother would steam them so they were a little limp by the time they got to the table," says Catherine McCord, the founder of Weelicious, a Web site with easy, kid-friendly recipes for busy parents, who created this side dish.  "Shredding makes them beautiful and lacy so they're not damp little orbs of cabbage. I added poppy seeds and garlic for nutrition. I got my uncle, who's the toughest sell in the group, to try them, and now it's one of his favorite dishes."
