Brussels Sprouts and Red Pepper
"These are a must-have side on our Thanksgiving table.
When choosing fresh brussels, choose small ones, they are more tender. You can toss in some pretty lemon slices to garnish. Some toasted nuts might be nice too.
My husbands family likes to sprinkle brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar at the table. I prefer them without. Unsure yields/times."

Amazingly good Brussels sprouts. The red bell pepper and carmelized onion added a nice sweetnes to the sprouts. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to steam and then brown the sprouts without overcooking them but I needn't have worried. They were outstanding just as written. Oh, and that sprinkle of lemon juice just before serving was just the right sparkle to make this dish soooo special.

My passions: faith, family, food, and anything family history related. Almost nothing I like more than to chase headstones of my dearly departed ancestors. I've been working on a family cookbook for almost 2 years. (Need to figure out how I want to actually print it.) Enjoy learning about how what I grew up eating relates to my ancestors from Croatia and Alsace primarily. Enjoy following and forming new traditions within the walls of my home.
Some would say I lead a very boring and mundane life. I would say it's just what I ordered. I have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom - which is what I truly love. Feel it's the best calling anyone could ever have. I've truly been blessed!
