SHEILA'S (SAUCY) BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:
- Wash and trim brussels sprouts.
- Cook (uncovered) until tender.
- Meanwhile, melt butter and saute onions until soft, but not brown.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend well.
- Pour over cooked sprouts.
Tips:
- Trim and halve Brussels sprouts: Cut off the tough ends and slice the sprouts in half lengthwise. This will help them cook evenly and allow the sauce to penetrate better.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet or sauté pan will allow the Brussels sprouts to cook in a single layer, preventing them from steaming and ensuring they get evenly browned.
- Cook the sprouts in batches: If you're cooking a lot of Brussels sprouts, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Don't overcook the sprouts: Brussels sprouts should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special, so be sure to use a flavorful one. The recipe in the article includes a delicious honey-balsamic sauce that is perfect for Brussels sprouts.
Conclusion:
Saucy Brussels sprouts are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are roasted in a flavorful sauce until tender and slightly caramelized. The result is a dish that is both sweet and savory, with a slightly crunchy texture. Serve them as a side dish with roasted chicken, pork, or fish, or enjoy them as a healthy snack.
