Total cooking time: 30min

I got probably my last catch of brussels sprouts for this year and had to throw away some of it, that is why I only had three quarter of a pound left. If you manage to get whole pound, just increase ingredients proportionally.

In this recipe tomato can be replaced with tomato paste with water, but I like fresh tomatoes more than canned substitutes.

A note: recipe doesn’t call for salt for a reason: the soy sauce is salty enough.

Ingredients:

3/4lb – 1lb brussels sprouts, fresh or frozen
1 big tomato
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon of mustard powder
1 tablespoon of olive oil
