  1. Wow! Fantastic. I approximately doubled the recipe (split the fat into 50-50 butter and olive oil), tossed steamed brussels sprouts and spaghetti with it, and this was a great hit at the dinner table. Thanks so much for sharing!
     
  2. Better than candy! I've always loved browned butter on veggies, but the garlic, lemon, balsamic and thyme just put this recipe right over the top! I reduced the butter to 1/4 cup but that's the only change I made. I'll be using this sauce for brussels sprouts in the future as well. Thanx for posting!
