Phil's Brussels Sprouts



I never got the nerve up to taste Brussels Sprouts until a couple years ago.....actually, the first time I tasted them was the night I got engaged to Phil at the top of the Hancock Tower downtown Chicago (Signature Room on the 95th floor). I really enjoyed them and now, like to make them on occasion.

One way we like to eat these is roasted in the oven with a little olive oil and salt and pepper OR roast them and drizzle my soy and honey glaze over.

This time, Phil boiled them in water with a few added ingredients. We were making an Asian-inspired meal, so had some teriyaki sauce nearby. He put some of that in the water along with some chopped red onions. Salt and pepper to taste. They turned out very good. We served along with some long-grain rice I had made with pork, celery, onions, and teriyaki sauce. Turned out to be a very good meal!
