Stuffed Brussels Sprout Leaves

My mom had some brussel sprouts growing in the garden with no actual sprouts. She had previously stuffed kale leaves, and she said the brussel sprout leaves would work also for this type of a recipe.

I steamed the leaves in boiling water. Then, I sauteed some rice, black eyed peas, fresh salsa, and trader Joe’s sausage with chicken, mushrooms, and asiago cheese. I also added some fresh chives and hot sauce.  It could easily be vegetarian or vegan by leaving out the sausage.

I then stuffed each leaf with the sausage mixture.

I then folded the leaves like a burrito.

And then serve. Yum!!

I had some leftover mixture that I think I will stuff into bell peppers for another meal! I love cooking with fresh garden ingredients!

In this image, Snicky has somehow manged to get himself stuck in the duvet cover.  He must have burrowed through another hole and the gotten himself caught in the smaller hole.  He was shimmying himself to no avail.
