Discovered an unlikely source of a good pre-op broth
My kids love veggies, and brussel sprouts are a real treat for them. I never used to buy them, but one day they started begging me for them. They prefer the frozen vs. the fresh ones for some reason, so I get those. Each time I get them I do them a little different to experiment.
Tonight I had some leftover beef broth that I wasn't particularly fond of and so I added about 1/2-1 c of that to the pot the sprouts were in, then added enough water just to cover them. I did not set out for this to be a broth for me, so I added two Tbsp of butter, minced garlic, a chicken bouillon cube and an onion bouillon cube and a little salt and pepper. I covered pot w/lid and turned on high to steam/simmer and just as it started to boil, turned off burner and let set about 15 mins.
Kids DEVOURED them and in taste testing the broth for flavoring for them, I find it very good! So I made myself a small bowl of it and it was quite tasty!! Probably should not have had the butter, but it was very good anyway!!
