These were good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I only used one tablespoon of olive oil.

Wonderful way to make Brussel sprouts! I cut them in half instead of slices but they were terrific!

A world gone mad! I LIKED Brussels Sprouts!! This recipe made the flavor of the sprouts seem mild and almost sweet. Perfect compliment to lamb with mustard sauce for Christmas dinner. For some reason slicing these little devils brought out the best in them. Thanks!

Very easy to make and makes a nice change from whole sprouts. :)

Best brussel sprouts recipe that I've made. I let the butter heat until just browning. At the end, I also added about 1/2 a lemon's worth of juice.
