CREAMY BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON
Quick and easy to prepare, and not a bad way to get the young'uns to eat the much-hated Brussels Sprouts. The sweet & smoky bacon counters the bitterness of the sprouts. And don't use non-fat sour cream - full fat works better.

Steps:
- Dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt in enough water to cover the Brussels sprouts in a bowl, and soak the sprouts in the salty water for 1 hour. Drain off the water, and toss the sprouts in olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to coat thoroughly.
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown at the edges, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; stir in the shallot and mushrooms, then cook until the shallots turn translucent, about 5 more minutes. Sprinkle in the garlic, and cook 1 minute, then stir in the sherry and cream until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil, and stir until reduced by half. The thickened sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
- While the sauce is cooking, lay the Brussels sprouts, cut sides down, onto a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven until the sprouts are browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer the browned sprouts to the sauce, toss to coat, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Tips for Making Bacon-Braised Brussels Sprouts in Cream:
- Choose the right Brussels sprouts. Look for firm, deep green sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts that are yellowed or have loose leaves.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts properly. Cut off the stem end of each sprout and remove any wilted or damaged leaves.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the Brussels sprouts. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Add the cream and chicken broth to the pan after the Brussels sprouts have browned. This will help to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
- Simmer the Brussels sprouts in the cream and chicken broth until they are tender. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Season the Brussels sprouts with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish the Brussels sprouts with chopped parsley or chives before serving.
Conclusion:
Bacon-braised Brussels sprouts in cream is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are tender and flavorful, and the creamy sauce is rich and decadent. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
