The holidays are approaching, and with them the inevitable Christmas dinner, made of love, colors, gifts and above all lots and lots of food!
In most homes, along with the main course (whether meat or fish), side dishes of all types and origins are brought to the table: roasted potatoes, carrots, onions, broccoli and, often, the controversial Brussels sprouts.
Children, let's face it, almost never like them, and in fact, boiled Brussels sprouts don't taste very good, don't look appealing and don't smell very inviting!
Don't betray traditions, improve them! This year bring to the table Brussels sprouts Parmesan style: crispy, inviting to the eye, juicy and, above all... delicious!
This year Christmas dinner and lunch will have a new star of the show: you just have to try it to believe!
