SAUTEED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND ONIONS



Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Onions image

This is a simple yet delicious recipe that takes little time to put together. It's a tasty way to incorporate a healthy, and often snubbed, vegetable into one's diet. I've been cooking Brussels sprouts this way for years. I'm not sure where I got the recipe. Using fresh Brussels sprouts is preferred naturally, but if not readily available, frozen Brussels sprouts may be used instead. If using frozen Brussels sprouts, you may have to drain any excess liquid that is rendered while cooking the sprouts.

SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND ONIONS



Shredded Brussels Sprouts With Bacon and Onions image

I love Brussels sprouts and think they have an undeserved bad reputation with so many because they are often overcooked. (Cooking Brussels sprouts releases sulfur compounds; when overcooked, they develop an unpleasant sulfurous flavor and smell.) In this recipe, adapted from Eating Well (October/November 2006), a small amount of bacon goes a long way to impart its wonderful, smoky flavor to the sprouts.

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp (5 to 7 minutes); drain on paper towels, then crumble.
  • Add onion and salt to the drippings in the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until tender and browned (about 3 minutes).
  • Add water and mustard, scraping up any browned bits, then add Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring often, until tender (4 to 6 minutes).
  • Stir in vinegar and top with the crumbled bacon.

Provided by Bella

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Brussels Sprouts

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ pound bacon, diced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons butter
¼ onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and black pepper to taste
½ cup balsamic vinegar
1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half
2 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, but not crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the grease in the skillet. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease and stir in the olive oil, butter, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the onion softens and the garlic lightly browns, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the balsamic vinegar and bring to a simmer; cook until the liquid has reduced by 1/3. Add the reserved bacon, the halved Brussels sprouts, and the chicken stock. Stir, then bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the Brussels sprouts are tender, yet still slightly firm, about 10 minutes.

  • Render the bacon until crispy: Cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crispy and the fat is rendered. This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the dish.
  • Sauté the onions until softened: Add the onions to the bacon fat and cook until they are softened and translucent. This will add a sweet and savory flavor to the dish.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until tender: Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with the bacon and onions and cook until they are tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Season with salt and pepper: Season the Brussels sprouts with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the Brussels sprouts with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or thyme. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
