I love Brussel sprouts. I get mine from TJ’s as well. One of my favorite light dinners is Brussels sprouts and konnyaku simmered oden style with a bowl of rice on the side. Some hot mustard gives it just the right bit of kick.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan, then add sliced shallots or red onions until they are soft. Add the brussels sprouts and make sure that the flat side is facing down on the pan. Heat for awhile- don’t touch them- until they get really dark. You can flip one once in awhile to check. When they’ve turned mostly dark brown/black, add a nice splash of balsamic and try to scrape up the blackened bits at the bottom of the pan. Add salt & pepper to taste.

The Firefly Bistro version uses pancetta too…I have to use those next time but I’m trying to watch my fat intake…although, screw it! I’ll try it that way next time.

Tokyo Rosa: Hi! Thanks for stopping by- I will check out your blog too. I miss Tokyo…how lucky that you are there.

Red Sun: Mini meatloaf- sign me up! I love meatloaf…it’s one of those foods that get a bad rap but it’s soooo good if made properly, don’t you think?
