"Oh Wow" brussels sprouts

That's my name for them. They are unbelievably delicious and they only took a few minutes.

Tonight was leftover night at my house, but as I was going through my box of veggies from the farm, I saw a bunch of brussels sprouts on the stalk. There was a recipe in the box, too, that sounded pretty easy, so I decided to cook some up to go with our leftovers. They were unbelievable! You definitely should try them.

Here's what you do

Rinse a half pound of brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. I only used 5 large sprouts which was probably about 1/4 pound. That gave us 10 halves total, though in the end we would have eaten more. Slice 2 garlic cloves and have 2 T. pine nuts standing by.

Melt 2 T. butter and 1 T. olive oil together over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring until the garlic is pale golden. Lift the garlic out with a slotted spoon and put them in a small bowl. Put the sprouts in the melted butter, cut side down. Sprinkle with salt and pine nuts. Cook over low heat without turning until sprouts are golden on the bottom (10-15 minutes).

Transfer the sprouts to a platter, cut sides up. Add 1/2 T . butter to the pan. Return the garlic to the pan and let the pine nuts and the garlic brown more evenly. Pour the butter, garlic, and pine nuts over the sprouts and add a few grinds of pepper. Delectable.
