                     Serves 8 
                     
                    6 tablespoons olive oil  
                    4 cups small Brussels sprouts, halved  
                    Salt and freshly ground white pepper  
                    1⁄4 cup white balsamic vinegar 
                     
                    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  
                     
                    Gently heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large cast-iron pan. 
                    Add the Brussels sprouts, cut-side down, in one layer, and 
                    brown in batches. Place in the oven, and roast for 4 minutes. 
                     
                     
                    Return the pan to the stovetop, set heat to medium, and turn 
                    the sprouts over carefully. Season with salt and pepper, and 
                    spritz with 2 to 3 teaspoons of the vinegar. Stir until the 
                    sprouts are coated and the vinegar has evaporated. Set aside 
                    on warm plate. Repeat with the remaining sprouts.
