Since I'm not a brussel sprouts fan, I can't give this 5 stars --BUT this made them very edible and almost even tasty for me. I did add a cube of vegetable stock to the water and salted it quite a bit while cooking the 'taters. It made for an amazing taste on the potatoes. I think I probably should have cooked the sprouts longer because the ones I ate last tasted best. The oregano/garlic mixture was a perfect compliment to the veggies. Thanks!
