Pan Fried Brussels Sprouts

With instructions from Tiff, I tried this dish last night and liked the result a lot!
Sprouts have absorbed all the flavor of butter, red onion, and with a good kick from the red pepper flakes.

The only imperfection was the sprouts were still on the harder side, which can be easily remedied by steaming the sprouts for 2-3 minutes (with lid on) as the last step.

Ingredients:
- Brussels sprouts, halved (the smaller the better)
- 1 medium red onion, sliced (according to Tiff, any other onion just doesn't taste the same)
- 3 tbsp butter (oh yeah)
- red pepper flakes (to taste)
- salt and pepper (to taste)

Method:
1. Preheat pan on medium heat. Melt 1 tbsp butter and fry red onion till brown. (Patience..) Add red pepper flakes.
2. Melt another tbsp of butter, add in Brussels sprouts.
3. Pan fry till slightly burned. Stir constantly. (More patience..) Season with salt and pepper.
Note: Brussels sprouts can take quite some salt.
4. Add in some water and cover with lid. Steam till water is gone and sprouts are still crunchy but not too hard.
