Tender Brussels sprouts with pistachios are caramelized until sweet and delicious. I had never tried Brussels sprouts before I tasted this recipe and immediately wondered why everyone hated them.

4 pounds Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and yellow leaves removed
½ cup unsalted butter
4 small red onions, cut into strips
