I was hoping to have more than one fabulous Brussels sprouts recipe to share this month, and luckily, tonight's meal makes it two. I re-tried one earlier this month from epicurious: Chicken, Brussels sprouts and cranberries, but even varying the recipe a bit from the first time I made it, it is not a keeper. Tonight's meal though: oooohhhh, success! Conversation between me and Olivia as we ate:
O: "I could drink this sauce."
K: "Because it's so yummy?"
O: "Yeah."
K: "I agree."
From smitten kitchen: Dijon chicken and Dijon Brussels Sprouts. Essentially the same sauce for both your chicken and your sprouts. I didn't make anything else to go with supper, so it's a good thing Greg wasn't here, because I ate part of his portion too. I could not stop; it was just too delicious.
The only thing I would change is cooking the Brussels sprouts for just a bit shorter than the recipe indicates, unless you like 'em mushy. I don't.
I would have made more, but I also had to make blondies for my work Christmas potluck tomorrow and two pans of hashbrown casserole (recipe to follow in a few days) for our Christmas Eve eve party. A girl can only do so much. And I was single parenting tonight. Plus all my other nightly requirements. Egad. Maybe I'll sleep in Nova Scotia. Can't come soon enough. O agrees!
