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.

Hearty Brussels sprouts pair nicely with salty bacon and onions in this quick Thanksgiving side dish for two.

  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any outer leaves that are damaged or discolored.
  • Slice the Brussels sprouts: Slice the Brussels sprouts in half or quarters, depending on their size. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts in a hot pan: Use a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add a little bit of oil or butter to the pan and then add the Brussels sprouts. Stir them frequently so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the Brussels sprouts: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to the Brussels sprouts as they cook. You can also add herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts until they are tender: The Brussels sprouts should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: Brussels sprouts are best served hot and fresh. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.
