Brussels Sprouts for Dinner



From the backyard garden this week before the first frost--last of the Tomatoes,

first of the Brussels Sprouts.

We enjoy our sprouts steamed, baked and broiled.  Today we tried this recipe for MAPLE-GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS adapted from Chef AJ in UNPROCESSED:

1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts

1/4 cup finely minced onions

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 Tbls Dijon mustard

1 Tbls tamari

1 Tbls cornstarch

Place trimmed & halved sprouts in small amount of boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water. Saute onion in a little water 2-3 minutes.Add boiled sprouts for 4 more minutes.

Whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, tamari, and cornstarch in small bowl.

Pour maple syrup mixture over Brussels sprouts and cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens.

Enjoy!
