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.

I came up with this myself. Since brussels sprouts have a similar flavor to cabbage, I have adapted my cabbage recipe for them. My husband thought he did not like brussels sprouts until I made these. I usually have to do a double batch and we end up fighting over the leftovers!!!

Brussels Sprouts with Oranges and Bacon image

Small thin-skinned oranges work best here. Look for organic, as you are going to want to eat the whole fruit. The combination of sweet orange, lightly smoky bacon, and caramelized brussels sprouts is absolutely addictive.

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.

Provided by GaylaJ

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 slices bacon
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 lb Brussels sprout, trimmed, halved and very thinly sliced
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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, compact sprouts with bright green leaves. Avoid any that are yellowing or wilting.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any outer leaves that are damaged or discolored.
  • Slice the Brussels sprouts: Cut the Brussels sprouts in half or quarters, depending on their size.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts: You can cook Brussels sprouts in a variety of ways, including roasting, sautéing, steaming, or boiling. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
  • Add flavor: Brussels sprouts can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and sauces. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic, onion, bacon, and balsamic vinegar.
