Ingredients
1 tbls. Canola Oil1 large red onion, sliced thin1 lb. Brussels Sprouts, rinse and slice in half from stem to top1.5 tbls. unsalted butter4 tbls. (or to taste) balsamic vinegar
Directions
In the largest, preferably well-seasoned cast iron skillet you have, saute the red onions in the canola oil until they carmelize (they will reduce down to a small mass). Empty into bowl.
Add butter to skillet, and place sprouts, cut-side down, in the butter over medium high-heat to brown them (depending on the size of the skillet, you may need to break up this process into 2-4 batches - split butter to accommodate this). When all sprouts are well-browned, add onions back to pan, and add vinegar. Cover immediately to catch steam and steam until sprouts are tender but not mushy - about 5 minutes.
This is a GREAT Thanksgiving side dish!

    This was great, excellent mix of tastes. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the size of the servings, I halved the recipe because I had a 1/2 lb all cleaned and ready to go. The end result was about 1 cup of veggies, so 1/3 cup was a serving??? - 11/12/14

    We were really glad to find this recipe, now brussel sprouts can be a regular on the menu at our house. And we never eat brussel sprouts - 8/13/11
