BRUSSELS SPROUTS LARDONS
Copyright 2004, Barefoot in Paris. These are really very good. Update 11/28/2207: it is possible that the chicken broth may not be necessary! It could be enough with cooking them 5 minutes and browning them that they are done - pierce them to see if they are tender. Just add the raisins when browning the brussel sprouts. Update 01/20/2009: I also forgot to mention that I have made these with turkey bacon and they were just as delicious as with the other bacon!! ;)

Tips:
- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, compact sprouts with bright green leaves. Avoid any with yellow or wilted leaves.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the tough outer leaves and the stem end of each sprout.
- Parboil the Brussels sprouts: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from getting mushy. To parboil, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use high-quality lardons: Lardons are small pieces of pork fat that add a delicious flavor to the dish. Look for lardons that are made from high-quality pork and are free of any additives.
- Cook the lardons until they are crispy: This will help to render out the fat and give them a delicious flavor. To cook the lardons, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lardons and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown. Drain the lardons on paper towels to remove any excess grease.
- Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet: Once the lardons are cooked, add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are heated through and slightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Conclusion:
Brussels sprouts with lardons is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of crispy lardons and tender-crisp Brussels sprouts is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also a great way to use up any leftover Brussels sprouts you may have. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Brussels sprouts with lardons a try!
