I'm always looking for new, healthy-ish recipes to try for dinner; and, while I like a good steak as much as the next person, I'm definitely a fan of vegetarian meals. Especially if they only require the use of one pot (I hate doing dishes
). Unfortunately, my forays into vegetarianism are not always successful. A couple weeks ago I made gnocchi using sweet potatoes, wheat, and chickpea flours that was just disgusting. Last fall I made a quinoa casserole that had to be thrown out. But finally, one of my experiments turned out to be eatable. In fact, Eric even liked it! And he wasn't just saying it to be nice! I give you Brussels Sprouts with White Beans and Pecorino!
Yum! Yum! For Eric, this dish is better as a side (with a big hunk of meat), but I find it to be extremely satisfying (and filling) paired with a hunk of good bread and a glass of wine. Mmmm.
The original recipe is
here. And just a note of caution: the second time I made it, I doubled the recipe and ended up adding far too much broth, causing the sprouts to be a bit soggy. Don't do that! Another note, if you make it, be sure to eat the little leaves that fall off the sprouts when you pull them out of the oven. They may look blackened and charred, but they are exquisite! They fairly melted in my mouth!
