A delicious brussel sprout recipe


I know. Brussel sprouts are one of those foods that are good for you but nobody likes. Until now. I ran across a recipe on the internet that sounded intriguing, so I tried it. Hey! It's delicous! Brussel sprouts are high in phytonutrients that protect against disease, including cancer. They have more than 100% of your daily need for Vitamins K and C and are also high in folate, potassium, Vitamin A and dietary fiber. Try this one.


2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water


1 3/4 cup Swanson's chicken broth
a pound of fresh brussel sprouts, with the bottom part cut off


2 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. Dijon mustard


Cook the brussel sprouts in the chicken broth until tender. Remove the brussel sprouts from the broth but save the broth.


Combine the cornstarch and water and add to the broth. Stir till thickened. Combine the lemon juice and Dijon mustard and add to the broth.. Stir. Pour over brussel sprouts and serve.
