What to do with a Brussel Sprout?

Brussel sprouts are not my favorite. However, I've found that pairing them with pineapple and mixing that up with kale - works!  They aren't half-bad this way.  Also, I found a new spice blend at Barbour International Foods - Ras El Hanout which is a Moroccan spice blend. Very tasty!

Saute
2 tsp olive oil
1/3 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup, anise or fennel bulb, chopped
2 leeks, sliced

Add and continue saute
6 brussel sprouts, chopped up some
1/2 cup pineapple chunks, chopped a bit more
1 oz pomegranate juice or other liquid
1 tsp Ras El Hanout
1/2 tsp ground black pepper

While that cooks, steam
1 cup kale, ripped up bite size pieces

Put the kale on plate and top with the saute veggies.

Rated a 4.7 on the Kale Scale
