Print Recipe
  1. Heat a heavy pan or Dutch oven over medium heat and add olive oil.
  2. Add the onions, garlic and red bell peppers and cook for about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the curry, turmeric and brussels sprouts and cook, stirring for another 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add the tomatoes, water, salt and pepper and cook until mixture is nearly dry about 15 - 20 minutes or more if you like the sprouts soft.
  5. For added richness, melt a tablespoon of butter into the vegetables just prior to serving. Replace the water with low sodium vegetable broth to enrich the flavor. This dish can be made a day prior then reheated gently in a slow oven. To do so, cut the cook time to 15 minutes, cool, cover and refrigerate.
