Broccoli & Brussel sprouts in Honey Mustard Sauce

You know sometimes you feel like eating something that's good for you? Yeah, I know it's odd, but it happens more and more these days. Brussel Sprouts are good for the liver, they can help lower you triglyceride levels and they are a good source of fiber. Broccoli is just tasty! Why fight it?

Sometimes veggies are great with just some butter and salt & pepper, but other times a body just wants something a little spicy, and this sort of fits the bill. I give it a little more bite than some might like, but if you like to feel some heat, this is great. I like it as a little meal all by itself, but if you wanted to use this as a side dish to go with some pork chops, I think it would do nicely. The sauce would nicely compliment a grilled piece of pork, similar to a Carolina style mustard based barbecue sauce.

Ingredients:

1 cup Brussel sprouts, cut in half
2 cups Broccoli Florets stems cut to 1/2 inch
1/3 cup Mayo
1 Tbsp. Honey
1 Tbsp. brown mustard
1 Tbsp. Yellow mustard
1 tsp. dry mustard

Directions:

Put Sprouts and florets in microwave safe bowl and cover, nuke on high for 2-3 minutes.

In small mixing bowl mix mayo, honey and mustards until mixture smooth and well mixed.

Check veggies, and test for done-ness. Nuke for 1 to 2 more minutes as necessary.

Remove veggies from microwave and immediately pour mustard sauce over hot veggies. Mix well and serve.

EAT IT!!!

After thoughts:

For a shorts cut, you can use prepared hot mustard, and omit the dry mustard.

This sauce is also good on green beans or cauliflower.

May also be a good side for some grilled fish.
