Brussels Sprouts With Bread Crumbs image

The only way I will eat Brussels Sprouts! Be carefull not to cook too long, or bad lunch room memories may start to rear thier ugly heads. For this reason, I don't care for this recipe after it has been reheated, so plan to serve this immediately. It goes together quickly, so if you are serving with a roast, you can start this while the meat is resting. Dried fresh bread crumbs sounds like a contradiction, but if you use the pre-packaged stuff you will be disappointed. I just whiz a piece or two of whole wheat bread and give it a few minutes in a hot oven on a cookie sheet, or if the oven is occupied, dry toast them in a skillet. This recipe is adapted from one in Savuer Magazine. I got the bread crumb idea from Mark Bitman's "How to Cook Everything" - LOVE that book!

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 slices bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces
2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed
1/3 cup dried fresh breadcrumb
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Chiffonade the sprouts by cutting crosswise into 1/4" ribbons. Rinse well and set aside.
  • Saute the bacon in a large frying pan until cooked, but not too crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Discard all but about a tablespoon of the drippings.
  • Saute the sprouts in the drippings over medium heat until just tender. They will turn a lovely shade of green. 3-6 minutes.
  • Add back the bacon. Sprinkle the bread crumbs, lemon juice and pepper (to taste) over the sprouts. Stir well to combine.
  • Serve immediately.
