Ingredients




about 20 large Brussel sprouts
1 quarter cup chopped bacon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper (to taste)

Preparation

1 Remove all stems from the Brussel sprouts. 2 Cut the larger ones in half. 3 Boil them in just enough water to cover the tops-until fork tender. 4 Set sprouts aside in a bowl of cold water. 5 Drain all liquid from the pan. 6 Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet (coating the bottom of the pan). 7 Add chopped bacon, and fry until crispy. 8 Add the Brussel sprouts back in along with 1 tablespoon of butter. 9 Pan fry all ingredients together until butter is completely melted. 10 Season with salt and pepper to taste.

About


I am not sure how many people are actually fans of Brussel sprouts, but I am definitely one of them! My mom had me try them when I was really young, and despite the fact that they were green and good for me I truly liked them. I hadn't actually had them more than a few times either before the other day. The last time I was at the grocery store they had beautiful, large sprouts so I grabbed a couple handfuls.

Brussel sprouts are hard to do properly in my opinion, and these were excellent. Would definitely make again!
