I can never eat Brussels sprouts often enough. So delicious, so versatile, so healthy. You just taste it. Here you bake them in leeks, and a splash of white wine. And then you serve them with a delicious onion sauce. A little mashed potatoes if you like. And you have a very different picture of those poor Brussels sprouts that aren’t as popular as I would love them to be.

It is a strong combination of flavors and substances. Well-baked mushrooms, a very spicy tomato paste and the soothing and slightly sour lima bean puree. It makes it a great big picture on your plate and fantastic taste in your mouth.

The other pilavs here at à la Damaris are made with rice. This one is made for a change with bulgur. A little more sophisticated, actually. A little more subtle. A little softer. Another combination. Anyway very tasty with some spicy roasted cauliflower in it, sweet dried apricots or plums and some pistachios. It’s a treat. For sure. Hands down.

A pie ensures a great interplay of flavours and sometimes also of colours inside the crust. That is also the case here. It’s a festive dish, beautiful, exciting and you can taste several flavors at once.
