Skip To The Recipe
Not being raised eating Brussels sprouts, I feel as an adult that I have been missing out on something great. Since my first bite, I have been in love with them. I have a few recipes that not only they are my favorite, but my family and friends also love them too and ask for them at holiday time.
This year I want to change things up a bit and wanting to introduce a new recipe before the holidays are here to ensure proper acceptance and entrance to the menu.
Who doesn’t love white beans?
White beans are not only very healthy for you, fat-free, and gluten-free, but also are a great source of fiber, folate, iron, and magnesium. Not to mention they contain proteins.
The Brussels sprouts contain vitamins, fibers and are high in antioxidants. A healthy combination all around and tasting delicious.
The caramelization of the Brussels sprouts cooked alongside the white beans marries in a perfect combination full of flavor that is perfect for your palate. The pecorino cheese brings it a natural touch of saltiness and binding the two vegetables as it melts.
It can be made as a light vegetarian meal or by substituting or skipping the cheese, for a vegan meal. Of course, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
As a side dish to any meats, fish, and poultry this dish will make your evening meal, simpler. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
I am also thinking a bit ahead and a perfect side dish to my turkey at Thanksgiving as I already received the thumbs up of approval.
