If you already like Brussels sprouts, you are in luck! As the name implies “Party Brussels Sprouts” isn’t shy about the star of this recipe, pairing them with mushrooms in a simple sour cream sauce with mint.
A couple of suggestions upfront. One, use the smallest Brussels sprouts you can find or quarter medium or large sprouts. They will both cook faster and more evenly. Ever had a soggy Brussels sprout that was still crunchy in the center? This is stuff that gave them a poor reputation to begin with. Two, substitute fresh mushrooms for canned.
Last, this quick dish is best served immediately. Brussels sprouts can be pre-cooked but wait to start this recipe until the rest of your meal is within 10 minutes of serving. The sauce doesn’t reheat particularly well. If you do find yourself in need of a quick reheat, add a dollop more sour cream before gently reheating.
