Tip of Stefano:
An oven dish with Brussels sprouts
88gr Brussels sprouts, the average amount a man or woman will eat in a full meal with Brussels sprouts. This will provide them with twice as much vitamin K as the recommended daily allowance. Moreover, the Brussels sprout contains loads of vitamin C, potassium, iron, phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, protein, tryptophan and fiber. A real laundry list. So this oven dish with seitan and Brussels sprouts is really an excellent and deliberate choice.
Buying and preparing the sprouts
Want to make Brussels sprouts? Brussels sprouts belong to the family of cabbages. Fresh Brussels sprouts are beautifully fresh green with a white bottom. If they show brown specks or yellow brown edges or if the outer leaves are loosening, they’re no longer that fresh. By them when they are green and firm, and you will fully enjoy their exquisite taste. Don’t overcook them, which will make them bitter and difficult to digest.
