Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pearl onions and cook until softened and the skins peel easily, about 2 minutes. Drain and rinse the onions under cold water. Trim the root ends and pinch the opposite ends to remove the skins.
  2. Combine the Brussels sprouts, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons butter, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are bright green and crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. Add the pearl onions and cook until the pan is almost dry, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, sherry, and thyme. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are glazed, about 2 minutes; season with salt to taste. Sprinkle with chives.
