Instructions

1. Dreaded Brussels sprouts are one of my two most favorites.
2. Try this, from Time-Life's*Fresh Ways with Vegetables*:
3. Put the onion, oil, pepper, and 1/2 c. of water in a saucepan.
4. Bring water to a boil over high heat and partially cover pan so a little steam can escape.
5. Reduce heat to medium and cook onion, stirring occasionally, until it is caramelized-i.e., water's about all gone, but a brown syrupy release of the onion's natural sugar is around and about-about one hour.
6. Uncover pan and add in wine to onion.
7. Raise heat to high and boil rapidly until almost all the wine has evaporated-5 - 10 min.
8. About 15 min before the onion's done, steam Brussels sprouts until they are tender.
9. Toss with onion and serve.
