BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH SHALLOTS AND SESAME

I don't have good memories with Brussels sprouts, so I didn't use it very often in my kitchen. My attitude changed when instead of cooking it in boiling water I started baking in the oven or frying on a pan. The taste, colour and smell are completely different and now I buy it as often as other vegetables.
