It’s Saint Patrick’s Day next week and I was feeling the pressure to make something on-theme for the holiday. I’m not much of a sweets person so I was happy when our Instagram followers voted on a savory green-themed dish for the blog. I thought about all the classic Saint Patrick’s Day recipes (corned beef, potato hash, soda bread, etc.) and I nothing really peaked my interest.
So, stuck without any idea for a recipe, I made a list of things that are green. Innovative, I know. Broccoli (already done), cabbage (closer…), Brussels sprouts? (eureka!). What’s better than a potato recipe with Brussels sprouts? Nothing. That’s what.
From there, this recipe kind of created itself. Onions and garlic were a must, obviously, but I added crushed red pepper flakes to add a little kick and I am so glad I did. It’s phenomenal! Lastly, I would recommend serving this recipe with some stone ground mustard. It pairs perfectly.
This recipe can be served as a side-dish or the main-dish if you are hosting a few vegetarians at your Saint Patrick’s Day feast this year! I hope you have a chance to make this recipe because it is so solidly good. When you make this recipe, don’t forget to tag Sweet Pea Living on Facebook or Instagram and use the hashtag #sweetpealiving to share it. I can’t wait to see how this dish turns out for you!
