Ingredients

• 350 g fresh Brussels sprouts
• ¼ C balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbs honey

• 1 tsp minced peeled fresh ginger
• 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small tomato, seeded and chopped
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Prep: Trim and clean Brussels sprouts, cutting a small "x" in the stem to help even cooking.
2. Steam: Place in a steamer over boiling water, cover, and cook until bright green and just tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Prepare Sauce: In a blender, combine vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, oil, tomato, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
4. Cook Sauce: Transfer sauce to a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook until slightly thickened.
5. Serve: Drizzle sauce over hot Brussels sprouts and serve immediately.
