This is one of my all-time favorite ways to serve brussels sprouts. Even non-sprout lovers should enjoy this dish. The piima cream is a perfect foil to the crisp sprouts and nuts. This recipe serves 4. I love the underdogs of the vegetable world: turnips, beets and brussels sprouts in particular. Brussels sprouts, like other cruciferous vegetables, are rich in the cancer fighting indole-3-carbinols. This brussels sprouts recipe is one that even brussels sprouts haters will love – plus it’s covered in probiotic piima cream. Piima is a Scandinavian yogurt that cultures at room temperature.
You can purchase piima from Cultures for Health or check out the Cultures and Starters Exchange.
