It took me a long time before I enjoyed eating Brussels sprouts. However, our favorite Los Feliz couple introduced the family to this recipe based on a recipe from the New York Times and it is great:

I tried growing the plant. However, I've come to the conclusion that it is not the happiest plant in zone 9. A year ago last spring, I planted a couple of rows in the large grow bag, and only one plant germinated. It grew about six inches and then stopped. It was covered with cabbage aphids and I pretty much assumed it was DOA. But it persisted. It stayed a small, stunted plant as I harvested from the same bag: tomatoes, peas, beans, radishes, and even corn through the seasons.
Then this year it "woke-up" and started growing in April. I might actually get a small harvest of sprouts!
So maybe good things do come to people who wait?
