It may sound cliche, but when I was a kid sauteed Brussel sprouts were never my thing. While growing up, I acquired this taste, and I have to say – it was definitely worthied.
As always, to;dr: cook the bacon first, remove, saute the Brussel sprouts in high heat till they caramelize, add a bit of garlic, add the bacon, mix it up and add salt and pepper to taste.
Now a couple of things that you will need to know before you eat sauteed Brussel sprouts.
- The number one thing is that your stomach might not agree with them, so do not eat too much. If not, you will have gas, a lot of it. Sheldon did not get it either, look what happened to him.
- Their best taste is when they blacken a bit, so don’t be shy to saute them even more.
You will need:
- Brussel sprouts washed and halved
- Minced/chopped garlic
- Bacon
- olive oil
- Salt and pepper
How to get it done
- As always, with anything with bacon, you start with a cold pan and no oil. Put it on medium heat until they become crispy. Remove from heat and retain the bacon fat.
- In the same pan, sautee the halved Brussel sprouts for 5-7 minutes without touching them with a bit of olive oil. Cover it up.
- We are looking to sear them heavily.
- Afterward, lower the heat and add the minced garlic and crispy bacon.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Ready
I know these sauteed Brussel sprouts are delicious as sides, so why not make them with some Oven-roasted baby potatoes or some Roasted beans in tomato sauce to you easy dinner ideas? It’s fancy, yet diverse and humbly cheap for anyone.
