Bella's Brussels Sprouts with Bacon image

This delicious twist on an underused vegetable is great as a side dish, or even as the main course. You can substitute red wine for the balsamic vinegar.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ pound bacon, diced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons butter
¼ onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and black pepper to taste
½ cup balsamic vinegar
1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half
2 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, but not crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the grease in the skillet. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease and stir in the olive oil, butter, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the onion softens and the garlic lightly browns, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the balsamic vinegar and bring to a simmer; cook until the liquid has reduced by 1/3. Add the reserved bacon, the halved Brussels sprouts, and the chicken stock. Stir, then bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the Brussels sprouts are tender, yet still slightly firm, about 10 minutes.

This recipe was a total flop! The sprouts were mushy and the bacon was undercooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. 1/5 stars!

The sprouts were a bit too charred for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I'll try roasting them for a shorter amount of time next time. 3/5 stars!

Not a fan of Brussels sprouts, but this recipe changed my mind! The bacon and balsamic vinegar really elevated the flavor. 4/5 stars!

Easy and delicious! I used a little less bacon than the recipe called for and it was still plenty flavorful. The sprouts were tender and slightly crispy. 4/5 stars!

My family loved this recipe! The bacon added a nice smokiness and the sprouts were perfectly roasted. Will definitely make again. 5/5 stars!
