German readers

Seeing as I'm getting traffic from Germany to this site (as well as the Netherlands and France), I'll post one of the German/Hungarian recipes I came up with.  It's loosely based on my brother-in-law's recipe and got even my husband to eat Brussels sprouts.  Enjoy!

Hungary for Sprouts!

1 pt. Brussels sprouts
1 carrot
1/2 yellow onion
1 cup broth (vegetable, chicken, or beef)
1/4 tsp. each salt, white pepper, lemon thyme
1 tsp. brown mustard
Meat: 4 sausage links, or 10 slices of bacon, or 1 1/2 cups of textured vegetable protein
Oil for cooking
Wash Brussels sprouts, picking off yellow or discolored leaves.  Halve each and slice halves thinly.  Peel and grate carrot.  Set both aside.  Compost scraps.  (I feed them to our Guinea pigs.)  Heat oil in large sauté pan over medium heat.  Open up sausage links, if using, and cook meat through.  Or cook bacon on stove, using a tablespoon of the fat to start onions.  Or cook vegetable protein until hot.  Set meat aside.  Dice onion and sauté in same pan 3-5 minutes, until translucent.  Add sprouts and carrots and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring well.  Pour in broth and add spices and mustard, stirring well.   Cook 10-15 minutes, testing sprouts for sweetness and cooking until just soft.   Serve with oven-roasted potatoes.
