Instructions

1. 1

3. 3

4. 4

   Add the mustard and the vinegar to the...: Add the mustard and the vinegar to the skillet; stir to combine.

5. 5

   Add the sprouts back to the skillet and...: Add the sprouts back to the skillet and cook for another minute or so. Season to taste with a pinch or two of salt and pepper.
