Well to my surprise, I can say now I actually like brussel sprouts. I must be getting older beacuse I bought brussel sprouts on my own account and promised I would try something new to see if I could like them. I found this recipe on a weight watchers blog called Gina’s Weight Watcher Recipes<\/a> which swears that if you don’t like brussel sprouts, after this recipe you will. I decided to put it to the test. It was truly amazing but the oil and garlic really take the bitterness out and add flavour that you would never imagine. It’s something different and a very nice added touch to a plate with bangers and mash. Tip: If you are trying to keep healthy substitute pork sausage with turkey sausage and instead of mashed potatoes try a cauliflower puree. My Dad almost didn’t even notice the difference!<\/p>\n Saut\u00e9ed Brussels Sprouts * 1 lb Brussels Sprouts (outer leaves removed and washed) Finely shred the brussels sprouts after thoroughly washing. In a saut\u00e9 pan, heat olive oil. Add shallots and saut\u00e9 about 2 minutes, add garlic and saute until golden. Add brussels sprouts, salt and pepper and saut\u00e9 on medium-low for about 4-5 minutes.<\/p>\n Simple and Healthy! What more could you ask for during holiday season!<\/p>\n Post from: Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n
