My DH always told me he hated brussels sprouts until he tasted these (must be the bacon and onions! :) ). From a December 1987 Bon Appetit magazine featuring a menu and recipes for a Fantasy Yuletide in Old Vienna. Ingredients:
2 lbs brussels sprouts, trimmed, x cut in base of each |
6 slices bacon, cut in 1/2-inch pieces |
1 cup onion, diced |
1/2 teaspoon caraway seed |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Bring large pot of salted water to boil.
2. Add brussels sprouts and boil until almost tender, about 7 minutes; drain.
3. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp.
4. Remove using slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.
5. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons bacon drippings.
6. Add onion to skillet and saute over medium heat until tender, about 4 minutes.
7. Stir in caraway seeds; add bacon and brussels sprouts and stir until warmed through.
8. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
