Brussels sprouts with tomato sauce and maple syrup

Brussels sprouts are a winter vegetable with the pretty appearance of miniature cabbage.

There are several varieties and they are available on the market during the coldest months of the year, between November and March.

Rich in vitamins A, C, K and the B group, as well as iron, phosphorus, calcium and antioxidants, they contain few calories and can make a perfect side dish or if accompanied by rice pilaf, a tasty and balanced main course.

They have a strong and bitter flavour and go very well with sweet and sour condiments, especially maple syrup which gives them a sweet, caramel-like taste.
