Brussels sprouts with caramelized onions and roasted almonds is an exquisite dish of European cuisine, combining the tender texture of the sprouts, the sweetness of caramelized onions, and the crunchy nutty note of almonds.

This dish is perfect as a warm salad or side for meat and fish dishes. It pairs wonderfully with white wine and fresh herbs. The simplicity of preparation and sophistication of flavor make it worthy of a festive table as well as a cozy family dinner.
