Dancer^'s Note:

I didn't like brussel sprouts until I tried these. You can had some heat with a sprinkling of hot pepper flakes.

Great recipe! Beautiful presentation, lovely mix of color and the taste is wonderful. I added salt & Pepper and 2 large cloves of garlic, minced. Another winner from Dancer - Thank-you

I'm sorry - I really wanted to like these - they lookd lovely. We like our sprouts just as they are - but decided to try this for a change. very easy to prepare and no trouble to cook, but we felt the sprouts were mushy and not at all nice. Maybe they were over cooked?
