I saw Chef Robert Irvine make these on the Food Network and I just had to try them. I adjusted the recipe for 4 people but I'm presenting the original recipe here. Absolutely delicious!

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 cups water
salt
4 lbs Brussels sprouts
5 -6 pieces bacon, minced
1 red onion, medium dice
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • Drain the Brussels sprouts from water and add to pan with the onions. Stir to coat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • Stir in the resrved bacon and cranberries. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper; to taste and transfer to a serving bowl.
