Since [Brussels sprouts](https://flowers-recipes.com/brussels-sprouts/) are a winter vegetable and are now available in just about every vegetable shop, they show up on our table quite often. Bea writes wonderfully about winter vegetables - [HERE](http://www.beawkuchni.com/2010/01/warzywa-sezonowe-zima.html) - so I won't go on about it. I just want to encourage you to eat seasonal produce. True, even I sometimes buy zucchini or broccoli in winter, even though their season ends at the beginning of winter, but I still value winter vegetables like all kinds of cabbage, parsnips, leeks, celery, carrots or potatoes (though a bit less). Why we should eat seasonal vegetables is also mentioned by [Bea](http://www.beawkuchni.com/2010/01/warzywa-sezonowe-zima.html). I wrote about Brussels sprouts themselves some time ago - [HERE](https://flowers-recipes.com/brussels-sprouts/). If you like this vegetable, I invite you to try [Brussels sprouts in balsamic sauce](https://flowers-recipes.com/brussels-sprouts-in-balsamic-sauce/). I also have a few more ideas "in reserve" that are waiting for their moment. Maybe in time I'll manage to convince at least one person to cook them, after all they're a healthy vegetable (Gabrysia writes about that too - [HERE](http://dieta-surowa.blogspot.com/2010/03/antynowotworowe-warzywa-i-owoce.html)), and even a tasty one. I used to steer clear of Brussels sprouts too. Now I could eat them even once a week. You just have to prepare them the right way. In a soup or a good sauce, I manage to sneak them in even for the kids. Without the pasta and additions like cream, this sauce will surely appeal to those on the Dukan diet. Enjoy your meal, happy reading, and have a lovely, relaxing weekend! ![tagliatelle with Brussels sprouts and meatballs](https://flowers-recipes.com/images/2011/01/tagliatelle-z-makaronem-i-klopsikami1.jpg "tagliatelle with Brussels sprouts and meatballs") tagliatelle with Brussels sprouts and meatballs **Ingredients:** * 500 g ground meat * 2 onions * 2 yellow bell peppers * 500 g Brussels sprouts * 250 ml broth * 1 can (400 g) tomatoes or 2 tbsp tomato paste * oil for frying * a little caraway (about 0.5 tsp) * pepper and salt * chili powder * cream or flour to thicken the sauce (optional) ![tagliatelle with Brussels sprouts and meatballs](https://flowers-recipes.com/images/2011/01/tagliatelle-z-brukselka-i-klopsikami2.jpg "tagliatelle with Brussels sprouts and meatballs") tagliatelle with Brussels sprouts and meatballs Season the ground meat with salt and pepper and shape it into small balls.
