Steps:

• For the Mustard Vinaigrette, in a medium bowl, combine the honey and mustard powder

• Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified

• Once all of the sprouts have been blanched, cut them in half lengthwise and pat dry with towels
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat
• Working in batches if necessary (don't crowd the pan), add the sprouts, cut-side down, and cook until well browned on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes
• Stir and continue cooking until tender and caramelized all over, about 5 minutes longer
• Return all of the sprouts to the pan and add the butter and rosemary, tossing until the butter has melted and coated the sprouts
• Add enough mustard vinaigrette to cover the bottom of a serving bowl (about ⅓ cup)
