As someone who's not a huge Brussels sprouts fan myself, I was thrilled to discover this hearty stew recipe. It's one of the best I've tried—fresh, flavorful, and packed with veggies. You'll likely have most ingredients on hand already.
This nutritious winter dish has a bright, fresh taste that even our kids enjoy without complaint. Best of all, it's simple to prepare at home.
Last week, I received a vegetable box from Fresh Harvest, complete with... Brussels sprouts. My husband loves them, but plain boiled? Not my favorite. Fried with garlic, herbs, and bacon is tolerable, but I wanted something better. That's how this fresh Brussels sprouts stew was born—a game-changer for skeptics like me.
Peel the potatoes (or boil in skins, or use pre-peeled). Boil for 15 minutes, then add cleaned Brussels sprouts and cook another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and dice the apples.
Drain the potatoes and sprouts. Mash together with a pestle. Stir in stock powder, milk, witch's cheese, chives, curry, and apple pieces. Add milk as needed for a creamy texture.
Done! The witch's cheese and apples add a refreshing lightness, balancing the richness. We paired it with homemade hash, but smoked sausage works great too.
Variation tip: Add chopped bell pepper or crispy bacon for extra flavor.
