Notes : Broccoli and broccoli sprouts have a natural affinity. The

flavors blend well and the textures were a treat. The sweet red pepper

not only added color but spice. We served this as a heathy side dish

for a leftover pasta from the olive garden restaurant. We liked the

side dish a lot more than the leftover. Try it. We liked it. --
