Brussel Sprouts A Great Side Dish for the Holidays You're gonna love these two recipes! I get it. Maybe you had a bad experience with brussel sprouts. Me, too. Overcooking brussel sprouts can bring out the worst in them. Tough, chewey, and bitter. But tender brussel sprouts with the right ingredients can be quite delightful, and they're good for you. Here are two brussel sprouts recipes that you're going to love. Brussel Sprouts with Bacon Ingredients~2 lbs brussel sprouts~1/4 pound bacon, dicedhandful of pecan pieces2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)salt and pepper to taste Instructions Cut the stems from the brussel sprouts, deeply scoring the sprouts, or cutting in half. Discard the stems. Steam the brussel sprouts until they just start to change color and turn translucent, about 10 minutes. They should still be a bright, bright green when you remove them. Add the bacon pieces to a pan with about 1/4 cup water. Cook on medium-high heat until the water evaporates, then on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the brussel sprouts to the pan and fry in the bacon fat, stirring every 2-3 minutes, until they are golden brown on most sides. Add the pecans, salt, pepper, and, if using, the maple syrup, and fry for another 2 minutes or so, stirring constantly. Serve and enjoy!
