Veggie Tricolore Stir-Fry
It’s veggie time. I never used to be a fan of brussels sprouts and making brussels sprouts without bacon seemed like an impossible task. If there’s no bacon what do I use to mask the complete taste of brussels sprout I don’t like. I think I just created a challenge for myself, I’m going to see how many dishes I can create with brussel sprouts without the use of bacon. This of course is the first one.
I added the julienned beets at the end, because they’re sliced so thinly that they didn’t need much cooking and it adds an extra texture. If you add them any sooner, you can rest assured that the color will bleed through your dish and instead of having three colors you will end up with a new color.
It’s a nice little side dish, I like these easy veggie dishes when you don’t have time for elaborate cooking and you can simply grill your choice of protein and add it on top. We had it with baked salmon, so while I was making the veggies on the stove it was baking in the oven and voilà, you have yourself dinner in under 30 minutes.
