Extremely tasty, with no bitterness. I use toasted pecans rather than pistachios, to remind me of a similar recipe I enjoyed at Stephen Pyles' Star Canyon restaurant in Dallas.

This was a little bit of work to prepare, but it tasted so great that it was worth it. We had it for Thanksgiving and it was by far the most commented on.

Wonderful and tasty. I used 2 pounds of frozen baby brussels sprouts rather than the 4 pounds called for. I also minced the onion and added 4 cloves of minced garlic. I steamed the sprouts until soft and then let them sit a while before serving to absorb the flavors. Got rave reviews. Thank you.
