i just deglazed my first pan

i just made brussels sprouts to go with the quinoa pancakes - they are delicious and quick & easy to make.

ingredients:
brussels sprouts. limit about 4 cups/batch, so you don't overwhelm your frying pan.
olive oil
balsamic vinegar

to make:
rinse brussels sprouts, cut off stem, peel off outer leaves and cut in half lengthwise.
put 1/2 in. water in a small saucepan and put in brussels sprouts (no steamer basket needed)
steam until bright green
drain

in the mean time:
heat up a pan on medium heat
when it's hot, put a little bit of olive oil in and swirl it around
pour in 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar - careful, it will pop and spray a little
immediately throw in drained brussels sprouts and sautee
add more balsamic vinegar
sautee until tender

they are delicious and the whole process took about 10 mins from start to finish. i can't wait to eat them tomorrow.
