Best Sautéed Brussels Sprouts With Bacon And Onions Recipes

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Trim away any damaged outer leaves and cut off the stems from: 1 pound Brussels sprouts.
• If the sprouts are very small, cut them in half; otherwise cut them into quarters. Cook the sprouts until tender, in abundant salted boiling water. Drain well. Heat a heavy pan over medium heat. Add: 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Cook the bacon until rendered and brown, but not crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon. To the fat in the pan, add: 1 small onion, diced, 2 thyme or savory sprigs.
• Cook the onion until soft but not browned. Season with: Salt, A squeeze of lemon juice (optional).
• Turn the heat to medium-high, add the drained sprouts, and cook, tossing or stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are warmed through and starting to brown a bit. Add the bacon and toss. Check for seasoning and adjust as needed.
• Omit the bacon.
• A minute before adding the sprouts, add 2 finely chopped garlic cloves to the onions.
• Toss the finished sprouts with a spoonful of chopped fresh thyme leaves.
• This same dish can be made with Brussels sprouts leaves. Cut out the stems from the sprouts and separate them into their leaves. Thinly slice the compact centers. Don't boil the leaves. Add them after the onions are cooked and salted. Cook for 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth to a depth of about 1/4 inch, cover the pan, and cook at a simmer until the leaves are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.

BRAISED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Melt butter with olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in butter mixture until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes; add Brussels sprouts and saute until slightly browned on edges, 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle bacon, chicken bouillon, red pepper flakes, and black pepper over the sprouts mixture; stir and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Pour wine over the sprouts mixture, reduce heat to low, place a lid on the pot, and simmer until the sprouts are desired tenderness, 10 to 15 minutes.

YUMMY BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON & ONION

Steps:

• Cook brussels sprouts according to package. I steam mine in the microwave.
• While sprouts are cooking, in a pot on the stove, cook your bacon and onion together. Cook until bacon and onion are thoroughly done.
• Add brussels sprouts to bacon & onion. Add margarine and salt & pepper to taste. When margarine is melted, you are done!
• I like to cook mine until the sprouts get a little brown on the bottom.

SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• If using something like bacon or sausage, start by browning the meat in a large skillet (10 to 12 inches) over medium-high heat to render the fat. Once the meat is cooked, remove it with a slotted spoon, leaving behind the drippings. (You can add the crispy meat bits back later.)
• Add halved brussels sprouts to the fat, shaking the skillet so that as many as possible land cut side down. Now, don't touch! Disturbing the skillet at this point would prevent the sprouts from caramelizing. Cook until they have a nice sear on one side, 5 to 8 minutes. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, give them a stir and continue to cook until they're nicely browned all over and just tender on the inside, another 5 to 8 minutes.
• Just before removing from the heat, add in a handful of aromatics, like chopped garlic, sliced onion, thyme sprigs or dried chiles, tossing to coat and cooking only a minute or two. Stir in the reserved bacon or sausage bits, if using.
• Finish with either a squeeze of halved lemon, a splash of nice vinegar or a handful of pickled onions or shallots. Because of the sprouts' meaty flavor profile, it's also nice to hit them with a smattering of fresh herbs, especially parsley, cilantro or mint. Salt and pepper to taste.
