This is a recipe from Joy of Cooking... totally changed my mind about Brussels Sprouts! It's imperative that you use fresh sprouts, the texture would be way off with the frozen ones.

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

15 Brussels sprouts, halved lengthwise
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, smashed with the flat of a knife
freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Melt butter and olive oil in a medium skillet (over medium-high heat) until butter is foamy.
2
Reduce heat to medium, add smashed garlic and cook until lightly browned.
3
Remove garlic and discard.
4
Add sprouts cut side down, cover, and cook without stirring on medium-low heat 10-15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife.
5
The cut side of the sprouts should get nice and browned, with a nutty, buttery flavor enhanced by garlic.
6
Top with freshly grated parmesan and salt& pepper to taste.

Very nice. I may cut back on the oil and butter next time - it was a tad rich for our tastes. I used my electric skillet to make a large batch with no problems. Thanks for posting!

Normally I steam the brussel sprouts then saute in browned garlic butter and sprinkle with parmesan. So I figured this was just another avenue to the same thing. WRONG!!. These are fabulous and far superior to the way I made them before. The cooking time was perfect and the brown roasty part is an excellent touch. Even with exactly the same ingredients this technique produces a much better result. Do not forget to salt and pepper liberally. At the end of cooking I did swirl in another pat of butter. Only minor problem is that if you are cooking for a crowd you will need a couple of pans. This will be my sprout standard from now on. Now I am sure I want to adopt Tracy.

We had this as one of the side dishes for Easter dinner. It was a big hit! It complimented the ham so nicely. The combination af garlic and parmesan is really delicious on brussel sprouts. A very easy to do recipe, this one is a keeper for sure! Thanks!!
