I love brussel sprouts and am always looking for ways to create different recipes with it. My new recipe turned out absolutely divine!This healthy, nutritious dish can be eaten with rice, millet , quinoa, flat bread or multi-grain bread. I made it even healthier by eating it with a bed of green salad.

The essence of coconut oil combined with ginger-garlic sauce made with almond milk and nuts created an awesome flavor.
