Message from Maggie:  This is an easy and delicious side with beef or fish.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound brussel sprouts
• 4 T. Olive oil
• 1 shallot, chopped
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Depending on size, half or quarter the brussel spouts.
2. Add olive oil to a large skillet.  Maggie’s Must Have:  My favorite pan is the D5 All Clad 4 quart.  
3. Add shallots and brussel sprouts, stirring occasionally until sprouts are golden brown, about 8-1- minutes depending on size.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

You can jazz these up by adding bacon for special occasions.  I like to cook the bacon in the pan before step one.  Then remove to a paper-towel lined plate before roughly chopping. After step three, add bacon back in and toss before getting back to step four.
