This is one of the first recipes to feature our Cranberry Habanero hot sauce and we gotta say, it adds an awesome kick without taking the focus away from the star of the show.
When I was a young lad, I vowed to never touch brussel sprouts. GROSS. I would yell. Just kidding, they were never brought into my home. Not a once. It was assumed that brussel sprouts were disgusting from common media of the time, but all my thoughts were incorrect.
Brussel sprouts are a unique vegetable in that they grow on a weird stalk thing, like the bells you’d use in a high school band class during Jingle Bells. Once removed, they turn into weird tiny cabbage-like objects with thousands of layers to peel back.
Then we realized you can add things like bacon, or cranberries, or hot sauce to the mix and make them tasty. Even a little madrona smoked sea salt can help elevate brussel sprouts to next-level tastiness.
