Brussels Sprouts With Bacon And Beer Recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs Brussels Sprouts

6 oz. thick cut bacon, chopped

1 shallot, peeled and sliced

12 oz. bottle beer, something light and crisp

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

Pinch crushed red pepper

Preparation

Trim the ends of each Brussels Sprout, removing excess leaves. Cut the sprouts in half, leaving the smallest sprouts whole.

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and saute until crisp.

Add the sliced shallot. Saute another 2-3 minutes to soften.

Then add the Brussels Sprouts. Stir and sear the sides of the sprouts for 4-5 minutes.

Pour the bottle of beer into the skillet. Add the salt an both peppers. Bring to a simmer and lower the heat a little. Stir and simmer until the beer has reduced to a glaze and the sprouts are cooked through–12-15 minutes.
