"I love brussel sprouts! Crazy I know, but I came up with this recipe to mix things up a bit, since the boyfriend isn't too keen on them. We both thought it was rather tasty. We served this as a side dish for a pear and brie stuffed tenderloin, but it made great lunch leftovers on its own. Easy and quick enough for a weeknight, but delicious and special enough for guests. Hope you enjoy!"
