Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices bacon
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup water
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon, but leave the drippings; blot the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble when cool.
  • Stir the onion and salt into the hot fat over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in the water and Dijon mustard. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until the water comes to a boil. Scrape the pan to dissolve the brown bits in the water. Add the Brussels sprouts and vinegar. Cook, stirring often, until the Brussels sprouts are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Toss with bacon and Gorgonzola cheese crumbles to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for Brussels sprouts that are firm, deep green in color, and have tightly closed leaves.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any loose or damaged leaves.
  • Blanch the Brussels sprouts: This will help to tenderize them and bring out their natural sweetness. To blanch, 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. Immediately transfer the Brussels sprouts to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Cook the bacon: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the shallots and garlic: In the same skillet, add the shallots and garlic and cook until they are softened. About 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts: Add the blanched Brussels sprouts to the skillet and cook until they are browned and caramelized. About 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the bacon and walnuts: Stir in the cooked bacon and walnuts and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper: Season the Brussels sprouts with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the Brussels sprouts hot, garnished with crumbled blue cheese.

Conclusion:

This bacon and blue Brussels sprouts recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized, the bacon adds a smoky flavor, and the blue cheese adds a creamy richness. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
