Brussels Sprouts & Mushrooms Medley

One day at about 5:00 p.m. I opened my refrigerator to see what I could make for dinner, and all I had were Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. So, I cooked them together with some coconut, and this simple dish has now become my husband’s favorite. He just loves the texture and the medley of the flavors. It’s a healthy, clean dish that can be served by itself or as a side dish.
