Time 40m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Good olive oil
1/4 pound applewood smoked bacon, 1-inch diced
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup sliced shallots (halved lengthwise and sliced in half-rounds)
12 ounces fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered through the core
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (not syrupy)
Fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned and crisp. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel and set aside.
  • Add the onion and shallots to the pan and saute for 5 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts (including any loose leaves), 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, toss well, and cover. Cook for 5 minutes
  • Add the butter and cook uncovered for 5 more minutes, until the sprouts are tender.
  • Stir in the cooked bacon and balsamic vinegar and stir to deglaze the pan. Sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel and serve hot.

These Brussels sprouts were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some garlic and Parmesan cheese next time.

I've never had steamed Brussels sprouts before, but I really enjoyed them. They were a great side dish.

These were so good! I used fresh Brussels sprouts from my garden and they were so flavorful.

I'm not a fan of lemon, so I omitted the lemon-herb butter. The Brussels sprouts were still delicious.

These Brussels sprouts were a bit overcooked for my taste. I'll try steaming them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

Not bad, but not great. I think I would have liked them better if they were roasted instead of steamed.

Easy to make and delicious! I used frozen Brussels sprouts and they turned out great. The bacon and lemon-herb butter really made the dish.

These steamed Brussels sprouts with bacon were a hit at our dinner table! The bacon added a delicious smoky flavor to the sprouts, and the lemon-herb butter was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this dish again soon.
