I know sprouts have a bad name in the Netherlands and that’s probably because they were cooked through until they became snotty and unappealing. I’ve never really hated them because my mom either stir-fried or tossed them through a curry. They were really flavoursome! But you can do more with these mini cabbages by roasting them in the oven. This way they will become crispy and super yum! But first we will season them before we'll pop them in the oven. And after that, we will coat them in a marinade of honey and balsamic vinegar. Trust me you would want to try out these sprouts!

Anyways, I’m digressing as usual, but my take on this classis is just as comforting as grandma’s version, just as creamy and just as delish! It can be made vegan, with or without raisins and you can vary with the ingredients! So, check it out ;-)
