Preparation

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes until soft. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

Add the broth, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 6-8 minutes or until the sprouts are just tender. Stir in the dates and season to taste with salt and pepper.
