1. In large pan, heat oil in pan on medium and toss in sprouts. Add the garlic.
2. When the sprouts are getting nice and blackened, add the stock.
3. Let the stock reduce so that there is no water left; it should look slightly goopy and the sprouts should be charred.
My aunt usually adds lots of butter but you could add vegan butter, if you like. Personally I like the lower fat version better.'
