I read about this crispy brussels sprouts recipe on a few blogs based on a recipe from a restaurant in Spain. Some versions had bacon so I used pastrami and I actually think the larger chunks really make it great. I prefer to add a little mustard dressing, but you could leave it off if you want.

So glad you liked it, you make me want to make it again soon.
New favourite! I would have never thought that all these flavours would work so well together. There were some skeptical looks around the table, but there was none left at the end, so that’s a winner at my house. 🙂
That is great to hear.
No, not at really. The few instances that required tasting foods I was always able to get around it. People are very accommodating.
Hi, Did you find becoming a dietitian in conflict with kashrus?
There are kosher frozen Brussels Sprouts by Bodek. I was just add a demo by a Chef from a kosher restaurant who said he checks the outer leaves and as long as there are no bugs he can use the rest for fresh, but you would have to ask your local Rabbi.
Where do you find kosher brussel sprouts?
I LOVE Brussels Sprouts. Unfortunately they don’t love me. 🙁
