From the Voluptuous Vegan. Sounds delicious. I'll probably be trying this real soon, so I'll have an update for anyone who's interested. A 1/4 pound of bruseel sprouts is considered to be 20 small or 10 large. The cookbook gives you a choice with the pearl onions that I could not include in the list of ingredients, and that is you could use red pearl onions.
