SAUTEED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND ONIONS
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.

YUMMY BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON & ONION
I came up with this myself. Since brussels sprouts have a similar flavor to cabbage, I have adapted my cabbage recipe for them. My husband thought he did not like brussels sprouts until I made these. I usually have to do a double batch and we end up fighting over the leftovers!!!

Steps:
- In a large deep skillet, over a medium heat, add the bacon. Render the fat and cook until crisp and golden brown. At this point, add the onion and cook until translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Fill a small saucepan with salted water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the sprout leaves and blanch for about 3 minutes. Transfer the leaves to a large bowl of iced water. Drain. Reheat the bacon and onion in the skillet until sizzling, then add the blanched sprout leaves and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Toss together well and finish with the butter and fresh tarragon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, brightly colored sprouts with tightly closed leaves.
- Trim and clean the sprouts: Remove any yellow or wilted leaves and cut off the stem end.
- Slice the sprouts thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet: This will give the sprouts plenty of room to brown and caramelize.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the sprouts in batches if necessary.
- Cook the sprouts until they are tender-crisp: They should still have a slight crunch to them.
- Season the sprouts with salt and pepper: Add other seasonings to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Garnish the sprouts with fresh herbs: Such as parsley, chives, or thyme.
Conclusion:
Brussels sprouts with onions and bacon is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
