Ingredients: 1/2 lb Brussel sprouts
2 large garlic cloves
1 1/2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. pine nuts (optional)

Directions: |
Directions:Trim Brussel sprouts and halve lengthwise. Slice garlic very thinly. In a 10 inch heavy skillet (like cast iron) melt 1 tbsp. butter with the olive oil over moderate heat. Cook garlic until pale golden. Move garlic to a small bowl with a slotted spoon. Reduce heat to low and arrange sprouts in skillet, cut side down in one layer. Sprinkle with pine nuts and a little salt to taste. Cook sprouts without turning until undersides are golden- brown (a little blackening is OK), about 15 minutes.
Put sprouts onto serving plate. Return garlic and last 1/2 tbsp. of butter to skillet. Cook pine nuts over moderate heat, stirring, about 1 more minute until the pine nuts are more uniformly golden-brown. Sprinkle this mixture over Brussel sprouts and add a little fresh ground black pepper. |

Notes: Brussel sprouts are amazingly tasty when they are sautéed to a crisp surface or roasted. You can leave out the pine nuts in this recipe and add a little lemon juice or onion or just Brussel sprouts. You can use frozen sprouts, just don't cook them quite as long, some say the raw ones are better. You can also substitute broccoli, cauliflower or broccolini, just alter the cooking time to suit the thickness or firmness of the vegetable.
