Even our son in law who does not like brussels sprouts liked this dish.

I made these on Thanksgiving, so they were slightly over cooked trying to keep them warm. Bad timing on my part. But they were a huge hit!

I prepared the sprouts the day before and stored them in a plastic bag covered in water with two caps of lemon juice.

My only other comment: my liquid was very liquidy. I was expecting more of a glaze or a "gravy".
