3. 3

   Put the onion, oil, pepper, and 1/2 c. of water in a saucepan.

4. 4

   Bring water to a boil over high heat and partially cover pan so a little steam can escape.

5. 5

   Reduce heat to medium and cook onion, stirring occasionally, until it is caramelized-i.e., water's about all gone, but a brown syrupy release of the onion's natural sugar is around and about-about one hour.

   Uncover pan and add in wine to onion.

7. 7

   Raise heat to high and boil rapidly until almost all the wine has evaporated-5 - 10 min.

8. 8

   About 15 min before the onion's done, steam Brussels sprouts until they are tender.

9. 9

   Toss with onion and serve.
