Brussels sprouts are a vegetable native to Belgium, whose popularity has spread throughout the world. They get their name from the Belgian capital, Brussels, where they were first cultivated systematically in the 18th century. In Latin America, this food may also be known as "Brussels cabbage" or simply "sprouts" in some countries. Their characteristic flavor and small size make them ideal for various preparations, including stews, sautés, and side dishes with creamy sauces like mustard, which enhances their flavor with a spicy and creamy touch.
The mustard sauce that accompanies the Brussels sprouts in this recipe is a classic mixture that combines ingredients commonly found in Latin American and European cuisine. This preparation stands out for being simple yet highly flavorful, perfect for those looking for a different and appetizing way to incorporate vegetables into their daily meals.
