Brussels Sprouts With Kimchi Puree And Bacon Recipes

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Brown bacon in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Add extra-virgin olive oil to the pan, 1 turn. Add shallots to the pan and saute 1 to 2 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts and coat in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook Brussels sprouts 2 to 3 minutes to begin to soften, then add broth. Bring broth to a bubble, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook 10 minutes, until tender. Transfer sprouts to a serving dish with a slotted spoon and top with cooked bacon bits.

BELLA'S BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, but not crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the grease in the skillet. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease and stir in the olive oil, butter, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the onion softens and the garlic lightly browns, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in the balsamic vinegar and bring to a simmer; cook until the liquid has reduced by 1/3. Add the reserved bacon, the halved Brussels sprouts, and the chicken stock. Stir, then bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the Brussels sprouts are tender, yet still slightly firm, about 10 minutes.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH KIMCHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If sprouts are small, simply trim them; if larger, trim and cut in half top to bottom. Put bacon in ovenproof pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just about crisp, 5 minutes or so. Remove with slotted spoon and add sprouts, cut-side down.
• Cook until they begin to sizzle, then transfer to oven. Roast until brown on one side, then shake pan to redistribute. Remove when bright green but browned and fairly tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, purée kimchi in food processor or blender until fairly smooth.
• Return pan to stove over medium heat and stir in butter, salt and pepper, and bacon. Put kimchi in bottom of a bowl and top with sprouts. Spoon a little kimchi juice over all and serve.
