Brussels-Sprouts-With-Bread-Crumbs0.jpg

INGREDIENTS

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

DIRECTIONS

  1. Chiffonade the sprouts by cutting crosswise into 1/4" ribbons. Rinse well and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Saute the sprouts in the drippings over medium heat until just tender. They will turn a lovely shade of green. 3-6 minutes.
  4. Add back the bacon. Sprinkle the bread crumbs, lemon juice and pepper (to taste) over the sprouts. Stir well to combine.
  5. Serve immediately.
