Heat olive oil in a pan. Add a pat of butter. When it melts, add brussels sprouts, garlic, salt, and pepper. Heat for a few minutes, then add a little water. Sautee for a while, then add the juice of half a lemon. Keep cooking until the liquid is mostly gone. Add some white wine. Heat until the wine is mostly gone. Eat.

(The brussels sprouts should be halved first, of course.)

i've never made Brussels sprouts without maple syrup and bacon. how do you kill the bitterness? with the lemon?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

I don't intend to kill it all the way.

Louie makes his with red wine, but otherwise the recipe is the same. Delicious.

use brown sugar instead of maple syrup.

In my experience, they only get bitter when they are steamed or boiled. When they are pan-browned or oven-roasted, you could almost describe them as sweet.

Similar to my favorite brussels sprouts recipe:

You've inspired me to try adding lemon juice to it. I bet that will be fantastic.

Yeah, the lemon flavor was awesome. I bet cashews would be good. I've got a cashew craving because someone mentioned cashew pizza.
