Here are the tips and conclusion regarding the Brussels Sprouts with Bacon recipe:

Preparation for Cooking Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

  • To easily remove the tough external leaves of the Brussels Sprouts, just cut a cross-shape on the base of each Sprout, and they should peel back neatly.
  • If you want a more caramelised Sprout, then we recommend that you cook them cut side down, and don't move them around for the first 5 minutes so that they brown well.
  • Make the recipe even more decadent by using pancetta or guanchale instead of bacon.
Cook the Brussels Sprouts before you add the bacon

This will prevent the bacon from overcooking while the Brussels sprouts are cooking.

Don't be afraid to add a little char to the Brussels Sprouts

This will give them a nice caramelised flavour that will balance out the bitterness.

Use thick-cut bacon for a more luxurious dish

The extra fat in the bacon will add flavour and richness to the dish.

Add some other ingredients to the dish to make it more interesting

Some good options include chestnuts, walnuts, or cranberries.

Conclusion:

This vibrant dish is a great way to enjoy the delicious taste of Brussels sprouts whether you intend to serve it as a side dish or the main course. The flavours of the ingredients all come together perfectly to create a taste that is both satisfying and unique, and the recipe is also very easy to prepare. Brussels Sprouts with Bacon is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. We hope you enjoy this recipe and that it brings joy and a delicious aroma to your kitchen.
