I didn’t like Brussels sprouts until…

My sister in law prepared a dish last year during the holidays and I fell in love. I tried to make something similar and this is what I came up with.

Brussels sprouts with bacon, sweet onions and garlic…yum!

Perfect as a side dish for the 4th of July or any holiday.

Do I need to say more?

First, you need Brussels sprouts

You need to sautéed some onion and garlic.

Add the Brussels sprouts and 1 cup of chicken stock.

And done!

Recipe:

• 1 pound of Brussels sprouts, washed and halved
• 4 strips of bacon, chopped
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, sliced
• 1 cup of chicken stock
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation: Cut off the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any of the yellow outer leaves.

Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Remove and set aside.

Toss some of the fat from the cooked bacon and in the same skillet cook the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes.

Add the Brussels sprouts and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, salt and pepper to taste and let cook until Brussels sprouts are tender.

Transfer to a plate and add the bacon.
