Brussels Sprouts


Yes, you saw correctly it is a Brussels sprouts recipe. Heck, many of us have hated this little green vegetable since childhood. But Brussels sprouts are not only edible, but delicious. All it takes is a great recipe and an open mind to discover the truth about these tiny cabbages, elevating them from a scary side dish to a new-found favorite food.



Ingredients:
2 slices of Turkey Bacon
1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved 
1 clove garlic, minced 
1/8 teaspoon black pepper 
1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar 
2 tablespoons water 


Directions: 
1. In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, flipping once, until bacon is crisp. Remove bacon and set aside until needed. 

2. In the same skillet, place Brussels sprouts, garlic and pepper with any drippings. Sauté on medium heat for 10 minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are tender. If the Brussels Sprout start to blacken, turn heat down to medium-low. Add sugar and water and stir. Simmer until all the water has evaporated. 

3. Crumble the bacon and add to the glazed Brussels sprouts. Serve. 


Enjoy!
