Brussels Sprouts

Do me a favor and try these. 

What you'll need:

Brussels sprouts
olive oil
butter
Kosher salt
sugar
minced garlic
fresh ground pepper

Wash and trim sprouts then cut in half.  Meanwhile, heat a saute pan on low with about 2 T. olive oil and about 2 t. of butter and about 1/4 t. of minced garlic.  When your sprouts are just about all cut up, heat the pan to high heat.  When the garlic just starts to sizzle, add the sprouts (if you don't add them right away, the garlic will burn).  Let the sprouts get nice and brown then give them a shake to turn them over.  Let them brown again then sprinkle a little sugar evenly over the top of each sprout (about 2 t. total).  Then shake again and let them continue to caramelize.  When they are all nice and brown, on at least one side, they are ready.  Season with salt and fresh ground pepper.  I also like to add a little butter to mine right before serving.  You won't look back to boiled sprouts.
