By grinder

An onion's distinctive smell and taste enhance the natural flavors of almost any vegetable. Onions also contain plant chemicals that may improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Why not liven up your next meal with onions? Try this hearty, savory side dish to complement a marinated chicken breast or lean, tender pork loin.

MAKE-AHEAD TIP:

Sprouts can be trimmed 1 day in advance. Cook sprouts and onions just before serving.
