This truly is one of those "love it or hate it" dishes. I found it very interesting and would make it again for myself. I probably wouldn't make it for guests or a potluck as it isn't for everyone. It is very colorful with the green of the sprouts, the red of the peppers, and the yellow from the tumeric. Taste wise it is intriguing. I was finding it hard to describe to my hubby before he sampled it and finally came up with "like a bread & butter pickle." It is tart, but has that sweet & then the pickle taste from the mustard seeds. The tumeric is listed in the instructions, but isn't on the ingredient list. I used 1 teaspoon. Made for Spring '09 Pick A Chef.

This was pretty good. I had some brussels sprouts left from the garden and I've never really cooked witht them before so I wasn't sure what to expect. The only changes I made... I used a yellow onion, didn't have any red bell pepper so I used three little pepperdew peppers (sweet/spicy pickled pepper), I also added a small chopped carrot (just because:).

I love to cook and am obsessed with Iron Chef America, Top Chef, and Alton Brown; the latter to a lesser extent. I also love to read anything; fiction, mysteries, cookbooks. Some of my fav. authors are Carl Hiassen, Margaret Atwood, Ernest Hemingway. My favorite cookbook is the Healthy Kitchen by Andrew Weil M.D. and Rosie Daley.
