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.

SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND ONIONS
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.

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:
- Select firm and fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for Brussels sprouts that are tightly packed, bright green in color, and free from blemishes or bruises.
- Shred the Brussels sprouts thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a combination of cooking methods: Sautéing the Brussels sprouts in bacon fat gives them a rich, smoky flavor, while roasting them in the oven helps to caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the Brussels sprouts, be sure to cook them in batches so that they have enough room to brown properly.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for a bit of acidity.
Conclusion:
Shredded Brussels sprouts with bacon and onions is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of fiber and vitamin C. With its smoky, caramelized flavor and crispy texture, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
