Spicy Honey-Glazed Brussels Sprouts
Spicy Honey-Glazed Brussels Sprouts is the result of a cooking mistake. I accidentally poured nearly 1/4 cup of ground black pepper into the brussels sprouts! (I was recovering from wrist surgery so I couldn’t use a pepper grinder.) I frantically removed as much of the pepper as possible but, as you can imagine, there was still more pepper than I would normally add…way more! To offset the spiciness, I added honey to the brussels sprouts and as a result this recipe was born. Sometimes mistakes are the best way to develop new recipes! Now I have a sweet, crispy, spicy brussels sprouts recipe that’s one of my favorites.

Broccolini is a refreshing change-up from broccoli. If you haven’t tried it, you should. It has a nice texture, color and taste and is very easy to prepare. Leeks are a cousin to scallions but are larger and more yellow. In this dish the leeks are sautéed which caramelizes and sweetens them but the leeks still add an “oniony” kick. The leeks yellow color with the green broccolini is a simple pairing of beauty and taste.
