Excellent Fried Brussel Sprouts

I love this recipe. My old neighbor Howard made brussel sprouts similar to this, and it was the first time I ever tasted brussel sprouts, and I loved them. I recommend cooking the brussel sprouts well. Brussel sprouts are supposed to be excellent to help avoid cancer.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts 
• 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 
• 2 garlic cloves, minced 
• salt 
• pepper  

Instructions

1. Remove loose outer leaves of brussel sprouts, then cut the brussel sprouts in half. 
2. In saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. 
3. Add the brussel sprouts and fry, stirring occasionally, until very dark brown, almost charred, but NOT burnt. 
4. In the last couple of minutes of cooking, add the garlic and stir in to combine. Turn down the heat to avoid burning the garlic.
5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
