[edit] Preparation
Step 1 |
Wash and trim the brussels sprouts and drop them into a large pot of boiling salted water. Boil, uncovered, for 10 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water. Fry the bacon bits in a 3-quart saucepan until they render fat. Add the chopped onion and saute' it until it turns translucent. Pour in 1/4 cup of warm water, scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom. Season with pepper and 1/4 tsp. of salt, and simmer for 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. When the sauce is cool enough to put a finger in, add the sour cream and blend thoroughly. Add the brussels sprouts and turn carefully to coat every piece. Turn into a greased 3-quart ovenproof casserole, sprinkle with bread crumbs, and dot with butter. Bake in a pre-heated 325 oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top. |
