I sauted one onion, added the sprouts and 1 cup broth. Cooked,covered for 8 minutes, removed the cover added the rest of the ingredients and let simmer until liquid was reduced to almost nothing. Excellent recipe. I'm not a big brussel sprout lover (like my husband) but these are good!!

These Brussels sprouts are fantastic! I loved the flavor of the sauce. These are easy enough for anytime, but also good enough for company or a holiday dinner. I'll be making these again, thanx!

These were quite good. The recipe didn't say how to cook the sprouts so I cut them in half and cooked them in a frying pan, adding a bit of water as needed, which gave them a bit of colour and helped them stay bright green. I then added the sauce. Loved the taste, not too overwhelming but definitely distinctive. I would have liked a bit more sauce. This would be great as part of a Christmas dinner.

This is a great way to prepare brussel sprouts! Easy to prepare and great flavor. The buttery sauce is a perfect compliment to the sprouts. Everyone at the potluck enjoyed this dish. Thanks for sharihg a wonderful dish, Mabers. This will be made over and over again.
