Sold as a 0.75 lb bag.
Brusselini is what we call the top leaves of Brussels sprouts, which are customarily removed in early fall to help the Brussels sprouts grow larger. They can be used just like collards or kale which are in the same family of greens and have a very similar texture and flavor.
In our kitchen, the preferred prep method is to coursely chop, then sauté in your favorite oil. We tend to use at least some toasted sesame oil for the flavor boost. It pairs well with the Brussel flavor. We also sear them a little brown on the edges for that toasty-ness that we love. Then top with sesame seeds. Only available for about two weeks every fall. Very ephemeral and fun to eat with the seasons.
