A great vegetarian side dish. Adding crumbled bacon and serving over pasta makes it a main dish.

Add the Brussels sprouts and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are nicely browned in spots, about 5 minutes or so. I like mine to get some good color here, so that they have a sweetly caramelized flavor</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://orangette.blogspot.com/2006/12/best-thing-since-brussels-sprouts.html">Pour in the cream, stir to mix, and then cover the pot.
