Pan-seared Brussels Sprouts
Okay, so I have to confess that I�ve always been a fan of Brussels sprouts! I like them raw, roasted and pan-seared like this side dish recipe I�m sharing today from Lord Buron�s Kitchen (with some minor changes). If you don�t consider yourself a fan of Brassica oleracea gemmifera (yeah I know, food nerd), I think this recipe will change your mind. The ingredients are few and the directions are simple. If you�re curious about the nutritional content of Brussels sprouts you should know that they contain fibre, calcium, magnesium, potassium, beta carotene, folate, vitamin C and vitamin K. Delicious and nutritious!
