Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 1 cups water or stock
  • 1 pinch salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash Brussels sprouts and remove any damaged outer leaves. Cut through the center in half or quarters so that all pieces are a similar size and the center holds the leaves on.
  • Add oil or bacon to a skillet.  Cook the bacon til it is crisp and remove it to a paper towel to cool.  When cool, crumble into bacon bits.
  • Add Brussels sprouts to the bacon fat or olive oil with cut sides down.  Cook on medium high heat until the cut surfaces are browned and begin to caramelize.  Add water or stock, 1/2 cup at a time to the pan and turn heat to medium-low. Add more water/stock as needed so pan does not go dry until they are done. DO NOT COVER.   Braise the sprouts until they are tender crisp when pierced with a fork, but not mushy, about five minutes or less.  Remove immediately from heat to serve.
  • If using olive oil, add salt and pepper to taste.  If using bacon, skip the salt.  Plate the Brussels sprouts and sprinkle with bacon bits.
