    Instead of water, I use chicken broth.

    I prepared this dish in my apartment very simple and little cookware needed. The dish turned out great!

    this is your BASIC brussel sprout. i "fancy" it up
    with what i had in paris. mix some honey mustard
    with heavy cream and douse. DIVINE. i never liked b-s

    you can find.
