Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt
16 Brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced in half lengthwise
2 slices bacon
1/2 red onion, diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup cranberries
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Generously salt the water and add the Brussels sprouts. Simmer the sprouts until just tender, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain the sprouts well.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and saute the bacon until browned and crisp, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the bacon from the pan to a plate lined with a paper towel. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
  • Leave the bacon fat in the pan and add the red onions and 1 tablespoon of butter. Saute until the onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cranberries and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the red wine vinegar and brown sugar and cook until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the sprouts to the skillet and stir to coat with the vinegar mixture. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Stir in the reserved bacon. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, and transfer to a bowl to serve.

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.
