Limoncello-poppyseed and garlic glazed brussels sprouts.
Alcoholic beverages

This recipe is an outline, to be filled out with seasonal herbs to compliment a specific meal, a specific palate. Originally, it was all impulse, an apology to my mother during Christmas dinner, words begging forgiveness yet retaining a distinct feistiness imbedded through flavor and presentation, giving a pop to her favorite vegetable with three ingredients whose rarity of use we've discussed as haunting the both of us (limoncello, poppyseeds and mustard seeds). This recipe has since seen iterations with extra spice from garam masala to slide alongside samosas, crushed red pepper flakes and toasted pine nuts to pair with pasta, oregano-dill and feta to support moussaka. The base brings to each version a subtle bite from mustard seeds and liberal use pepper, tempered by limoncello's touch of sweet, matched by the visual drama and slight nuttiness of poppy.
