I know you’re thinking, “Lord these queers won’t quit with their fancy vegetables!” But stick with us, it’s about to get good, ladies.
This recipe is for those of you who look upon Brussels sprouts with disgust and disdain because you were forced to choke them down as children, despising the taste and pungent gym-sock aroma they emit when traditionally prepared.
The ingredients really work well together and completely mask the bitterness sometimes associated with Brussels sprouts. Now, the bitterness you associate with the mother who shoved these down your throat, we can’t help you with.
