Provided by Natasha Bull

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 pound bacon (cut into small pieces)
2 dozen Brussels sprouts (trimmed & halved)
Salt & pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy.
  • Take the bacon out of the pan (set aside until needed) and leave the grease in there.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan, stir them until they're nicely coated in the bacon grease, and cover the pan with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the bacon back into the pan. Cook, uncovered, for a few more minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are as tender and/or browned as you want. You can cover the pan again if you wish (especially if you want the Brussels to be super soft); just keep an eye on them so they don't scorch.
  • Season with salt & pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Categories     Other Salads

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg steam in bag Brussels sprouts
DRESSING
2 Tbsp olive oil
10 slice pre-cooked bacon, diced into half-inch pieces
1/2 c frozen chopped onions
1 tsp dill seed
1/2 tsp celery salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1/3 c apple cider vinegar (for a more tart dressing, add additional tablespoons)
1/2 Tbsp brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Steam Brussels sprouts in microwave for about 1 minute less than the package instructions.
  • 2. Meanwhile, heat large frying pan, add olive oil and heat. Add bacon and crisp up.
  • 3. Add onions, celery salt, and dill seed. Stir until heated through and some of the water has steamed off. (This will de-crisp the bacon)
  • 4. Add apple cider vinegar (or other vinegar of your choice) and the brown sugar. Stir until all ingredients are combined and bubbly.
  • 5. Add Brussels sprouts and stir thoroughly to cover. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Brussels Sprouts: Select firm and vibrant green Brussels sprouts with tightly closed leaves.
  • Trim Properly: Trim the stem end and remove any yellow or wilted leaves from the sprouts.
  • Blanching Technique: Blanching the Brussels sprouts in boiling water helps retain their vibrant color and crisp texture.
  • Crispy Bacon: Cook the bacon until it's crispy and the fat is rendered. This adds a delightful smoky flavor to the dressing.
  • Homemade Dressing: Prepare the bacon dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. It adds a tangy and creamy touch to the dish.
  • Toasted Pecans: Lightly toast the pecans in a skillet to enhance their nutty flavor and add a crunchy texture to the salad.
