1/4 C. extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 C. butter

Salt to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Trim bottom stems of brussels sprouts, then cut in half. Heat large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and butter to pan. When butter starts bubbling, add brussels sprouts; season with salt and pepper. Saute until cut sides turn golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes, tossing frequently. Do not overcook or brussels sprouts will burn.
Transfer to oven. Bake 4 to 5 minutes or until tender. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately as side dish to poultry or pork. Makes 4 servings.
