Brussels Sprouts in Onion Honey Sauce


I should call this, "My Love Affair with Brussels Sprouts," but that would be unfair to bok choy and spinach.  Spinach is the best in my opinion.  I have made three recipes with a bit of sweet added to the vegetable it makes a major difference.

 Brussels Sprouts in Onion Honey Sauce

Ingredients:

 12- 15 brussels sprouts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large white onion, quartered and sliced thin
1/4 cup vegetable broth
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1  tablespoon Dijon mustard 
1  1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar, start with 3 then add more if desired
salt and pepper
Method:
Boil brussels sprouts for 7 - 10 minutes or until tender.

In large skillet, heat olive oil and saute onions for 7-9 minutes.  Add garlic and saute for another 2 minutes. Stir intermittently.
 
 Add the broth, raise the heat to high and cook for approximately 4 minutes until the liquid is reduced by 1/2. Add the mustard, honey, vinegar,and pepper to taste. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Liquid will almost all evaporate.
  
 Remove from heat and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes.

    Great recipe, Chaya! We are brussel sprout fans too. Love them roasted, sliced and braised, any way at all. Will definitely be trying your idea.

    I've never tried brussels with a sweet flair. We love them, so I need to give this a try!

    This looks lovely! I am a bit obsessed with brussels sprouts (and spinach:) but haven't tried them with honey. I am definitely intrigued! Stopping by from Slightly Indulgent Tuesdays :)

    Brussels sprouts aren't something I think about cooking very often. Not sure why--I don't have anything against them! I've never had them with honey. Sounds good, Chaya! Thank you for linking.

    What a lovely way to serve Brussls Sprouts, Chaya! I love the honey mustard flavouring. We really enjoy Brussels Sprouts in our house, and this sounds like a great new way to enjoy them.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
