Brussel Sprouts

1 lb. brussel sprouts rinsed, trimmed & cut into half or quarter if large
1 med. onion diced
olive oil
2-3 oz. walnut pieces coarsely choped
brown sugar
salt
pepper
vinegarette/garlic expressions

Mix brussel sprouts, onion, about 1/3 c. olive oil, salt & pepper to taste in a bowel together.  Heat large saute pan ( I prefer cast iron) over med. high heat add 1 tbsp. of oil to pan until hot but not smoking.  Add brussel sprouts & cook until they have a nice charred color, stirring occasionally – about 10 min.  While brussel sprouts are cooking toast walnuts w/a drizzle of olive oil in small saute pan over med. heat – about 5 min.  Transfer walnuts to a paper towel, lightly salt & sprinkle w/3 tbsp. of brown sugar.  Combine walnuts to brussel sprouts & drizzle w/vingarette.  Serve
