Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pound brussels sprouts
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3/4 cup coarse, dried breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely grated romano cheese
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
  1. Trim the bases of the sprouts with a small knife and discard any brown outer leaves. Halve lengthwise.
  2. In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the Brussels sprouts for 3 minutes, or until they turn bright green. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Pat dry.
  3. In a large cast-iron skillet, melt the butter in the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sprouts and cook, turning, for 2 minutes, or until dark golden and starting to crisp. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, or until golden.
  4. Add the breadcrumbs and cook until the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy, about 2 minutes. Add the Romano and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
