Sautéed Shaved Brussels Sprouts

Food shopping online during this pandemic can be quite challenging. It often takes days to get a spot for a delivery and that is after trying every five minutes from 4 a.m. until you can no longer keep your eyes open, usually around midnight. Once you get a delivery spot, you hope they have the items you have ordered, but most likely they do not and they often send you something else instead. Well this happened to me today. Rather than lettuce, I received a bag of shaved Brussels sprouts. Although I was looking forward to a delectable salad and wasn't sure what to do with a bag of shaved Brussels sprouts, I decided to make the best of it and sauté them. These Brussels Sprouts were so easy to make, delicious, flavorful, and had the right amount of texture, I now look forward to my next online food shopping challenge.

Ingredients
2 packages fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon syrupy balsamic vinegar

Directions
Place the Brussels sprouts in the feed tube of the food processor fitted with a large slicing disk. (You  don't need to core them). Process until they're all sliced.

Heat butter and olive oil in a very large (12-14-inch) sauté  pan over medium to medium-high heat. , Add the Brussels sprouts, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until crisp-tender and still bright green. Off the heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar. Season to taste, and serve hot.
