Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
My mother originally made this Brussels sprout recipe. The Brussels sprouts come out very flavorful and the saltiness of the bacon balances their flavor. I am told that my father-in-law does not normally like Brussels sprouts but he enjoyed these.
The amounts are really subject to personal taste:
Cook chopped bacon in a large dry saucepan
Add chopped onion
Remove from pan, depending on the amount of fat rendered from the bacon, a small amount of olive oil may be added to the pan
Add halved Brussels sprouts cut side down
Cook until slightly brown and flip them over
Add chicken stock and salt and pepper and cover
Cook on reduced heat until they are tender
Add the bacon and onions back to the pan just before serving
