Like most kids I didn’t really like eating Brussels sprouts while growing up. I still did though, my mother would just give me one look and I knew it would be trouble if I didn’t. In the recipe below we make the simplest tastiest Brussels sprouts that even your kids would love. I would have definitely had no problems eating these as a child.
The acidity and sweetness you find in balsamic vinegar is like no other. That balance is perfect with a nice fruity olive oil. We combine the two in this recipe with some fresh chives and a some garlic. That all comes together in a slow cooker and the brussels sprouts slowly soak up all the flavor. I serve this often with grilled chicken or sometimes I eat an entire bowl all by itself.
2 pounds brussels sprouts cut in half
1 bunch chives thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic minced
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
In a 6 quart slow cooker add in all the ingredients from brussels sprouts to olive oil. Mix well then season with salt and pepper then mix again.
Cook on high for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
