Shaved Brussels Sprouts With Bacon And Almonds Recipes

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Using a mandoline on the setting that cuts 1/8th-inch slices, hold the stem, slice all of the Brussels sprouts and discard the stems. Set shavings aside.
• Cut the bacon into pieces by slicing the whole 12-ounce slab of slices in half, then stack and slice.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat and once hot, spray* with pan spray. (*Pull pan off flame before spraying pan.)
• Add bacon and cook until just short of crisp, about 5-8 minutes.
• Use a spider or slotted spoon and remove the bacon to a bowl or plate.
• Pour off all but ¼ cup of the bacon fat.
• Add the shaved sprouts and sauté about ten minutes or until your desired doneness. We like them a little underdone so ours were cooked in eight minutes.
• Add the reserved bacon, salt and pepper and cook just to heat.
• Serve immediately.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Fry bacon in a large deep skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels.
• Add the garlic and almonds to the fat in the skillet and cook briefly over medium heat until toasted. Add the Brussels sprouts and quickly toss to coat with the hot oil. Sprinkle the red wine vinegar over the sprouts and toss again to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until sprouts are wilted. Remove from the heat, stir in the bacon and season to taste with salt and pepper.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON & ALMONDS

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until desired crispness. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, reserving 3 tbsp. of the bacon grease.
• Discard the remaining bacon grease or save for another use. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix Brussels sprouts in a bowl with the reserved bacon grease, salt, and pepper. Pour them on a rimmed baking pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly.
• Crumble the bacon. Stir the bacon and almonds into the Brussels sprouts. Serve immediately.

PAN ROASTED ALMOND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Trim the cut ends of the brussel sprout, remove any outer leaves that fall off, and cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.
• Heat oil and in a large flat-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
• When the oil it hot, sprinkle salt and pepper in the oil and cover the bottom of the pan with the sprouts, cut side down. Don't worry if the sprouts touch, just get as many in as you can.
• Sprinkle the top of the sprouts with a little more salt and pepper and let them sizzle for approximately 5 minutes.
• Divide the butter and drop small amounts around the top of the pan. It will melt down over the sprouts.
• After another minute or two, check a sprout to see if it's browning nicely. If so, turn the sprouts over and allow the other sides to brown for another 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the almonds over the sprouts and stir the pan to incorporate the nuts. Watch carefully to prevent the almonds from scorching.
• Roast for another 3-5 minutes, until the sprouts and almonds are toasty and crisp. Serve as is or sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top for a little extra goodness!

QUICK SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Arrange the bacon in a large skillet or sauté pan and place the pan over medium heat. Fry the bacon until it is browned and crisp. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain; crumble and set aside. Leave about 2 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet and discard any remaining drippings.
• Add the minced garlic and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the onion is softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shredded sprouts to the skillet and continue cooking, stirring, until tender, or about 4 to 6 minutes.
