So, here is a new recipe for a really great vegetable dish. I put this together for Easter dinner and everyone seemed to like it. So, give it a try yourself. Ingredients
- 2 pounds of Brussel Sprouts
- Olive oil
- Salt and Petter
- 1 diced large or 2 small Shallots
- 4 Tablespoons of Capers drained
- 6 strips of cooked, chopped bacon
Procedure
- Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees
- Cook bacon and set aside to drain and cool. Once cool, chop into 1/4 inch pieces
- Trim ends off of brussel sprouts - cut brussel sprouts in half along the length of the sprouts (not crossiwise)
- Spread brussel sprouts out on a cooking sheet
- Drizzle with oil olive
- Salt and Pepper
- Dice shallots finely and sprinkle over brussel sprouts
- Sprinkle bacon bits on brussel sprouts
- Bake for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned
- Serve immediately or cover with foil or keep in warming oven
Wow, that sounds really good. I'm going to try it soon! I love sprouts but my husband only tolerates them. This one might change his mind! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting recipe. Does this dish work equally as well with ground beef or ground chicken instead of bacon? It also looks like the brussel sprouts could potentially make a decent hors d'oeuvre when topped with a large olive and served with cheese and whole-wheat crackers on the side.
