Thanksgiving grows ever closer. (Speaking of which, did you see our local turkey list?) That’s what I was thinking the other weekend when I spotted the first Brussels sprouts at my local market. Lovers and haters tend to fall into distinct camps. If you’re trying to bring the skeptics around, now might be the time to bring home some of the early crop and do some recipe testing. Here are a few hits from our database:

Potato, Pancetta and Brussels Sprout Saute
(Katherine Frey/The Washington Post)
• Potato, Pancetta and Brussels Sprout Saute
• Brussels Sprouts California Style
• Warm Orange-Ginger Brussels Sprout Slaw
Those are just a few of the many possible dishes in the archives.
And — spoiler alert! — stay tuned for the first of our two Thanksgiving issues, Nov. 14 and Nov. 18, when we’ll share a fried Brussels sprouts recipe.Yowza.
