I have never tried brussels sprouts before, probably because my dad didn't like them so they were never fixed at home and had a bad reputation. I like to say that I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to trying food. I finally bought some and set out to find a good recipe. I found the perfect recipe here. I have to tell you also, that my 2 year old loved them!
Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Onions
1 lb brussels sprouts
1/2 large onion, sliced
3 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 sprigs of thyme, plus 1 tsp of thyme leaves
1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste
1 tsp lemon juice
Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Cut brussels sprouts into quarters and add to boiling water. Cook until barely tender, about 3-5 minutes, and drain.
In a large skillet, brown the bacon until almost crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and put onto a paper towel to drain. Drain all of the grease but about a tbsp. Add the extra virgin olive oil to the bacon grease. Turn the heat to medium and add the onion. Cook until soft but not browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in the thyme sprigs, the salt and the pepper. Add the brussels sprouts and cook until warm tossing several times, about 3 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs, add the bacon, thyme leaves, and lemon juice. Toss to coat.
Enjoy!
