Makes great left overs! Just reheat the next day. I know left over brussels sprouts sounds awful, but they really are delicious.
Brussels Sprouts
I don’t like brussels sprouts, Dave doesn’t like brussels sprouts and our family members don’t like brussels sprouts. That’s right this is a recipe for a food we don’t like.
When I first had this dish I didn’t realize it had brussels sprouts in it, it was nutty tasting and the suated onions and garlic gave it a great flavour. If you are tired of all your favourite veggies, this dish will not disappoint. You just might find you can actually eat brussles sprouts too. This recipe is great as a side dish with pork chops or a grilled steak.
