Brussels Sprouts Hors
d’oeuvres Recipe Created by Ruth Paget
This
is one of my favorite appetizers at Jack’s in the Portola Plaza Hotel in
downtown Monterey. I make mine
differently for somewhat mushy Brussels sprouts, but look forward to this hors d’oeuvres
and baked rigatoni when I go to Jack’s.
Their French onion soup is scrumptious, too.
Balsamic
or sherry vinegar add the flavor to these somewhat sour vegetables.
You
will need a collapsible steamer to make this recipe.
