SAUTEED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND ONIONS



Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Onions image

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.

SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND ONIONS



Shredded Brussels Sprouts With Bacon and Onions image

I love Brussels sprouts and think they have an undeserved bad reputation with so many because they are often overcooked. (Cooking Brussels sprouts releases sulfur compounds; when overcooked, they develop an unpleasant sulfurous flavor and smell.) In this recipe, adapted from Eating Well (October/November 2006), a small amount of bacon goes a long way to impart its wonderful, smoky flavor to the sprouts.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 slices bacon
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 lb Brussels sprout, trimmed, halved and very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp (5 to 7 minutes); drain on paper towels, then crumble.
  • Add onion and salt to the drippings in the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until tender and browned (about 3 minutes).
  • Add water and mustard, scraping up any browned bits, then add Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring often, until tender (4 to 6 minutes).
  • Stir in vinegar and top with the crumbled bacon.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, bright green sprouts with tightly closed leaves.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any wilted or discolored leaves.
  • Halve or quarter the Brussels sprouts: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the Brussels sprouts plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts over medium-high heat: This will help them brown and caramelize.
  • Stir the Brussels sprouts frequently: This will prevent them from burning.
  • Add the bacon and onions: Once the Brussels sprouts are browned, add the bacon and onions and cook until the bacon is crispy and the onions are softened.
  • Season the Brussels sprouts: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately: They are best served hot and fresh.
