This recipe for brie and Brussels sprouts is a delicious way to enjoy these two simple ingredients. The Brussels sprouts are steamed until tender, then coated in a creamy brie cheese sauce.
2 pounds Brussels sprouts, end removed, cut in half lengthwise
1 1/2 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 tablespoon flour
1 1/2 cup milk
4 ounces brie cheese, rind removed, cut in small cubes
salt and white pepper
Bring water to simmer in a large pot with a steamer basket. Add brussels sprouts and cook for about 8-10 minutes until a knife easily can pierce through the sprout.
Meanwhile, in a large shallow saute pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir with wooden spoon to combine. Allow to bubble and cook for one to two minutes to cook off the flour taste.
Add milk and whisk to combine. Bring to simmer whisking constantly until sauce begins to thicken.
Add cheese and continue to stir until cheese is melted and thoroughly combined.
When Brussels sprouts are almost done steaming, add to sauce to finish the cooking and coat the sprouts. Season to taste at this point with salt and white pepper.
Keep warm for service.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
