I haven't had brussels sprouts since I was a kid and my mom served mushy, frozen sprouts (well, she cooked them...they weren't frozen when I ate them!) Like any kid, I hated them.
The other day, I passed a bin of fresh sprouts in my grocery store for a price I couldn't pass up in this economy. I was nervous, but I think they just became one of my favorite vegetables! I understeamed them a little, probably steaming them for only 6 or 7 minutes. That left the inside a little crisp. Also, I saved the calories on the pistachios. I used shallots instead of onions, and those got crispy enough for a contrast in texture. I ate the leftovers for lunch today, and they were just as good reheated in the microwave as they were out of the pan. I don't think you need as much butter as this recipe calls for, though. I used a bit less and it was perfect.
Great recipe!
