Love Brussels Sprouts, and loved these! The celery and onions were edible all on their own, and combining them with the brussels sprouts and sauce was great. Only suggestion I have is to make sure all your sprouts are of an even size or cut the larger ones in half so all is an equal texture when serving. If you like brussels sprouts, you will love this.
