Sprouts to Love
(Braised Brussels Sprouts)
6 servings
This is my hands-down favorite way to cook them. This method gives Brussels sprouts an almost-melting quality. Bacon imparts a smoky flavor here, but it's not essential; the bacon may be replaced with a tablespoon or two of oil.
1/4 pound bacon, diced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 to 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed and stems trimmed, each cut in half
1/2 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
Pinch sugar
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
In a pan large enough to eventually hold all of the Brussels sprouts, cook the bacon over medium heat until the bacon releases its fat, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring every minute or so, until it is translucent, about 3 minutes.
