This is more or less what I do also but without the onion, garlic and red pepper. OK, so it's just the method not the ingredients that I do. However, it seems to take out any bitterness that the sprouts might have. I have also roasted them but I like the former method better. My dh and middle son used to fight over the sprouts while the other two kids where not so interested in them. Me, I can take them or leave them but much prefer them cooked this way.
Just realized that I live just east of you phyllyog.
