Categories     side dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quart brussels sprouts
8 tablespoons butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced

Steps:

  • Trim the brussels sprouts at the base, and using a sharp paring knife, cut an X into each base.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the brussels sprouts in a heavy oven-proof casserole, and toss with 6 tablespoons of the butter, salt and a generous amount of pepper. Stir in the lemon juice.
  • Cover tightly, and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the brussels sprouts are just tender. Baste and stir 2 to 3 times during the cooking.
  • While the brussels sprouts are baking, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large, heavy skillet. Saute the mushrooms over high heat until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • When the brussels sprouts are done, mix in the mushrooms and serve.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover Brussels sprouts. I always have a few extra after Thanksgiving and this is a great way to use them up.

I halved the recipe and it was still plenty for two people. The leftovers were just as good the next day.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon from this recipe. It was still delicious!

I added some chopped walnuts to this recipe for a little extra crunch. It was a great addition!

I'm allergic to bacon, so I used pancetta instead. It was just as good!

I followed the recipe exactly and my Brussels sprouts turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These Brussels sprouts were a little too bitter for my taste. I think I'll try roasting them next time.

I'm not usually a fan of Brussels sprouts, but these were delicious! The braising process really mellowed out the flavor and the bacon and onions added a lot of flavor.

These Brussels sprouts were a hit at our dinner party! They were perfectly tender and flavorful, and the bacon added a nice smoky touch. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
