Sweet Brussels sprouts with caramelized red onions

 
An awesome Christmas side dish that will be discussed at the table!
 
What we will need: (for 8 servings)
 
25g. butter
2 red onions
700 g. Brussels sprouts (preferably small)
1 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp sherry vinegar
 
Method:
 
In a heavy-bottomed nonstick pan, melt your butter and then add your onion (cut into slices).  Allow the onions to caramelize over medium heat for approximately 6 – 8 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon so that they cook evenly.  Once they take on a golden color, they are ready.
 
Put your pan to the side while you prepare your Brussel sprouts.
 
Boil the sprouts in a pot of salted water for about 3 – 4 minutes, until tender.  Pierce with a fork to check that they’re ready.
 
Go back to your caramelized onions and add your sugar and sherry vinegar to the pan.  Bring to the boil on a low heat to give the flavors a chance to blend and become enhanced.  As soon as the liquid starts bubbling, remove the pan from the heat.
 
You can now place the cooked Brussel sprouts in a bowl and stir in your caramelized onions, or – for an even sweeter flavor – throw your Brussel sprouts into the pan with the caramelized onions and glaze them slightly over a low heat and then place in a serving bowl or platter.
 
Delicious!!
