Before we talk about today’s easy side dish, I have news to share.
Ta Da! This blog post will be my 1011th! Can you imagine?
Not only am I celebrating that milestone, I’m honored to say that Mother Rimmy’s has been nominated as one of Skinny Scoop’s Top 25 Healthy Eating Blogs. I hope you’ll get a chance to hop on over to Skinny Scoop and vote for me.
Okay – enough celebrating. Time for a brussels sprouts recipe!
Brussels Sprouts and Mushrooms
There was a time when brussels sprouts would never had entered the house, much less have a place at the dinner table.
But times have changed, and we’ve become fans of this affordable vegetable – despite the rather unpleasant smell that permeates my small home.
Brussels Sprouts and Mushrooms
The other night, instead of the roasting treatment my brussels sprouts usually get, I decided to thinly slice them, then dump them into my pan with a handful of meaty mushrooms and sun dried tomato.
We called this a side dish success for my newly beloved brussels sprouts. If you have extra calories for the day, be sure and top this dish with a shaving of nutty Parmesan cheese.
Happy, healthy cooking!
Ingredients
- 4 cups brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
- 10 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- ½ cup sun dried tomato, chopped into small pieces (not packed in oil)
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and all ingredients. Cook for 8 - 10 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Thank you Hester!
Me again, Kristi. I tried to ‘like’ your nomination but when I entered my facebook login, it didn’t get any further. I’ll check back later and see if they’ve sorted this issue. Meanwhile, the best of luck!

I am a huge fan of brussels sprouts…I usually half or quarter them to make a stir-fry. Love yours with mushrooms and sundried tomatoes. Very appetizing and beautiful.

Add sun dried tomatoes to dish and I’ll eat the entire plate by myself.
Congrats both on the number of posts and the recognition! I’ll go vote in a minute. I’ve hashed Brussels sprouts before (essentially blanch them, then shave and reheat in butter or olive oil) but haven’t prepared them quite the way you did. Good stuff! Nice flavorings, too. Thanks.

I’ve never tried making a hash with them. I actually like them better. I think you could even get brussels sprouts haters to enjoy them shaved in butter.
Congrats on your nomination and very well deserved! We have been eating more Brussels Sprouts lately too, and had a super yummy salad (out to dinner last night) with Brussels Sprouts, Squash, Pecans and a litt.e goat cheese. So good
Love your recipe with sundried tomatoes and mushrooms-sounds delicious!

Thank you so much. I was surprised and pleased. As you know, blogging is a lot of work for sure. That salad sounds fantastic. I’m getting all kinds of ideas for brussels sprouts that I can’t wait to try. Have a good week.
I’m the weirdo that has always loved brussels sprouts
Super delicious looking, love the match with the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes.

I’ve been really impressed with the sun dried tomatoes I can buy at our local Albertsons. I was buying the brand packed in oil, but these aren’t. It’s nice to save a few calories and still have big flavor.
I made this last night – so, so yummy! And so healthy. Fantastic recipe.
