There is usually a clear divide between those who love them and those who just can't eat them.
Which group do you belong to?
Together with Claudia from vitalmentebio we have prepared a tasty recipe that will win over even the sceptics: Brussels sprouts with spirulina honey.
Bringing these miniature cabbages to the table with spirulina honey is a good choice for our health: they detoxify the body and have a beneficial effect on female hormone metabolism.
They stimulate concentration as they are rich in thiamine and folic acid. They are a treasure trove of antioxidants and contain vitamin K, which is very useful for healthy bones.
INGREDIENTS FOR ONE BAKING TRAY
- 20 Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Severino Becagli spirulina honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- Salt to taste
- Nutritional yeast powder to taste
- To serve the sprouts:
- Severino Becagli mayonnaise
- Semi-brown rice
METHOD
Wash the sprouts and cut them into quarters. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add salt and drop in the sprouts, cooking them for exactly 5 minutes. This step is very important to stop them drying out too much in the oven and to soften their strong flavour. They will be much more delicate!
Drain them and spread them on a baking tray.
Make your emulsion: blend the honey, oil, water and salt together.
Pour the emulsion over the sprouts and mix well with a spoon.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast on top (optional).
Bake in a fan oven at 180°C for about 40 minutes: they should be nicely roasted and soft.
Serve them with semi-brown rice, boiled and pan-fried, and our delicious mayonnaise... you won't be able to stop!
Enjoy your meal!
