Lewis Rossman of Half Moon Bay, California, writes: I'm a chef, and Mediterranean is probably the best way to describe the kind of cooking I do at my restaurant, Cetrella. There's an emphasis on seafood, plus several dishes inspired by places I've visited like Provence and Catalonia. This is one of my favorite recipes from the menu. It also happens to be the thing I make at home all the time. Thinly sliced lemon — peel and all — gives this dish bright flavor. (No need to peel the lemon since roasting softens the rind.)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds small brussels sprouts (each about 1 inch in diameter), trimmed, halved through root end
1 1/4 cups diced bacon (about 6 ounces)
1 lemon, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook brussels sprouts in medium saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Spread brussels sprouts on rimmed baking sheet in single layer. Sprinkle with bacon, lemon slices, salt, and pepper; stir. Roast brussels sprouts until tender and beginning to brown, stirring every 10 minutes, about 30 minutes. Transfer to bowl and serve.
