Recipe - Brussels Sprouts With Caramelized Onion

1 pound Brussels sprouts, cut in
half
1 lg Onion, thinly cut or sliced up
1 tablespoon Virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup Dry white wine

Dreaded? Brussels sprouts are one of my two most favorites. Try this, from
TimeLife's *Fresh Ways with Vegetables*:

Put the onion, oil, pepper, and One half cup of water in a saucepan. Bring water
to a boil over high heat and partially cover pan so a little steam can
escape. Reduce heat to medium and cook onion, stirring occasionally, till
it is caramelizedi.e., water's about all gone, but a brown syrupy release
of the onion's natural sugar is around and aboutabout one hour.

Uncover pan and add wine to onion. Raise heat to high and boil rapidly till
almost all the wine has evaporated5 to 10 minutes.

About 15 minutes before the onion's done, steam Brussels sprouts till they
are tender. Toss with onion and serve.
