Directions:
- Brussel Sprouts
- Pre-heat your oven to 425*
- Rinse, stem and halve your brussel sprouts
- In a microwave-safe bowl place 1/2 c water and cover it; put in microwave for 7-8 minutes or until tender. *mix half-way through.
- drain and add a dash of olive oil, salt and pepper, toss in some garlic
- spread on a lined baking sheet and put in center rack.
- Bake for 20 minutes
*Pro tips
Start your onions while your oven is pre-heating and your brussel sprouts are in the microwave.
Start your water when your onions are simmering and your brussel sprouts are in the oven.*
- Caramelize your onions:
- Chop your onions in 1/4 and then into slices
- Put your pan on medium-high heat
- add 1tbs butter, let melt
- add your onions, increase heat
- if you have 40 minutes to caramelize, lower heat after your onions begin to get crispy and let sit for 40 minutes
- If you're s normal person and don't have extra time, add 1 tbs of real maple syrup, mix, lower heat to low and let sit for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally
- PASTA:
- Make your pasta.
- 10 minutes before your food is ready, sprinkle your feta on top of your onions, while in the pan.
- *You can opt out of doing this and just sprinkle it on top if some folks don't fancy feta.
- Plate your pasta, *add garlic if you wish, mix well,* add your brussel sprouts, and caramelized onions (with or without the feta)...
EAT AND ENJOY!
