I put some of the browned brussel sprouts on the top and some that were not browned on the bottom so that they would all be browned. If I try this again, I will use a pan with more surface so that they all get browned at the same time.
This is what the finished product looked like. To my taste buds, I like my sprouts cooked to a little more of a tender state than these turned out. 9/6/13
Since the kitchen crew used Balsamic Vinegar and I had that on hand, I used it also. After mixing the brussel sprouts around so they all got browned on the bottom, I put the vinegar in the pan and put the lid on. 9/6/13
I put the oil and butter and garlic in the bottom of this 10" heavy duty skillet on med-high heat. Then I added the brussel sprouts cut-side down in the pan. The pan was not large enough for ALL of the brussel sprouts to touch the bottom of the pan.
