    Do you think brussel sprouts are boring? Not any more! I gurantee you will change your mind about these miniature cabbages after trying this recipe! It is super easy to make these caramelized brussel sprouts in a pan on the stove. Serve it as a side dish to pair with any chicken or meat dishes. You will see they are gone in no time. We had it with Roasted Chicken With Potatoes today and they were perfect together.

    We can eat anything with citrus flavors and pomegranate molasses, so I used them to make caramelized brussels sprouts. I stir fry the sprouts and then add orange and lemon juice into the pan. The juice inside starts to caramelize and I add my homemade pomegranate molasses to make the juice a bit thicker and to give the sprouts a nice golden color. We do love sour flavors in vegetable dishes, so I knew it wouldn’t go wrong! The sweet tartness of the pomegranate molasses and orange&lemon mixture turn the sprouts into an amazingly delicious salad.

    I toss a little orange zest and pomegranate seeds into the pan after the sprouts are done to make it look more elegant. Besides being a fantastic side dish, caramelized brussels sprouts can also make a great lunch or dinner for vegetarians.

    I must say that everyone can love brussels sprouts as long as they are cooked in the right way and if you love citrus and pomegranate molasses as much as we do, I promise this recipe will be the right one for you too!

      Could we just use Honey, a nice dark honey if unable to make the Molasses, please?

        Well, pomegranate molasses gives it a nice sweet-sourish flavor besides the caramelizing effect. I guess honey will work fine too, but then I think you should use a little extra lemon juice.
