Best Brussel Sprouts With Streaky Rashers Recipes

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat a large cast iron or similar sturdy bottomed skillet over medium high for 4 minutes. Add the oil. As soon as the oil is hot and shining (but before it starts smoking), swirl to cost the pan, then add the halved Brussels sprouts. Shake the skillet a little and prod them so that as many as possible are cut-side down. Let sit completely undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, until they develop a dark, tasty, caramelized sear.
• Add the salt and pepper. With a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the Brussels sprouts. Continue cooking, stirring every few minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are browned all over and just turning tender the inside, about 6 to 8 additional minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vinegar, then the pine nuts or almonds. Let the residual heat of the skillet toast the nuts, stirring them very often so that they toast evenly on all sides and do not burn (if they aren't toasting, return the skillet to low heat). As soon as the nuts are toasted, transfer the sprouts to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Enjoy hot.

BRUSSEL SPROUTS WITH STREAKY RASHERS

Steps:

• Meanwhile, saute the bacon (known as streaky rashers in Ireland) and onion in a skillet.
• When brussel sprouts are tender, drain well and dump into the pan with the onions & bacon. Saute a bit and serve. This recipe is totally flexible. Add more or less of the ingredients to suite your tastes.
