This is a stovetop variation of the standard roasted brussel sprouts recipes. This method for cooking the brussel sprouts allows them to remain vibrant green as well as keep a fresh flavor and texture. This is a great fall side dish for any roasted meat. —Tony S

2 pounds
Brussel Sprouts (halved from the top through the stem)

Add sliced garlic and saute until brown and crisp. Remove garlic and reserve.

Turn heat to low and place brussel sprouts cut side down in the pan. Do not worry about crowding pan, the most important thing is to make sure the cut side of the sprout is in contact with the pan.
