Directions
Dreaded? Brussels sprouts are one of my two most favorites. Try this, from Time-Life's *Fresh Ways with Vegetables*: Put the onion, oil, pepper, and ½ cup of water in a saucepan. Bring water to a boil over high heat and partially cover pan so a little steam can escape. Reduce heat to medium and cook onion, stirring occasionally, till 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.
Uncover pan and add wine to onion. Raise heat to high and boil rapidly till almost all the wine has evaporated--5 to 10 minutes.
About 15 minutes before the onion's done, steam Brussels sprouts till they are tender. Toss with onion and serve.
