Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 2 medium onions, chopped

- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups regular or low sodium chicken or vegetable stock

Directions
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat with the EVOO and butter. Add the onions and cook until caramelized, 5-6 minutes.
- Add the sliced Brussels sprouts, allspice, sage and a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper and toss to combine. Add the stock, bring up to a bubble, then reduce the heat and simmer until the Brussels sprouts are tender, about 15 minutes.
