Slow Cooked Balsamic Brussel Sprouts Recipe
I do love making things in a slow cooker. There is something very magickal about the s
experience. This recipe for brussel sprouts mades a great side for meat and/or other vegatarian dishes. This savory dish would be great paired with a good wine.
Brussel sprouts are very popular in Brussels, Belgium which is where they got their name. They are a species of cabbage and in the same family as collard greens, kale, and broccoli. Besides being really good for you, they are absolutely delicious.
Enjoy!
