Miso Brussels Sprouts

You know me an Brussels Sprouts!  I found this recipe while watching "Unique Eats" on the Cooking Channel.  It is from Pubbelly in Miami, Florida.  I had to alter the quantifies of some of the ingredients as the recipe was developed for restaurant demands.  I hope my edits still work as the recipe sounds perfectly tasty.
