Ingredients
- 1/2 pounds Bacon, Minced
- 1-1/2 pound Fresh Brussels Sprouts
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg, Freshly Grated
- 2 pinches Salt To Taste
- 1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper To Taste
- 1/2 whole Lemon, Juiced
Method
- 1. First, mince the bacon and start frying it over medium high heat. While it's frying, cut the stems off the Brussels sprouts and then either shred or dice them. I halved them lengthwise and then kind of whacked at the halves. No need to be precise here. Once they're shredded, give them a thorough wash in the sink.
- 2. Once the bacon is nice and browned, remove it from the pan. Drain the bacon grease out of the pan, and add the butter. Keep the heat at medium high.
- 3. As soon as the butter has melted, add the shredded/chopped Brussels sprouts. Cook for about 5 minutes and add salt and pepper to taste, along with the nutmeg.
- 4. Add the bacon back in, and continue to cook for another few minutes. Add the lemon juice right at the end. Give it a taste-add more nutmeg or lemon juice if needed. You're looking for a little burst of freshness in your mouth, but not one that overwhelms the flavors from the bacon and nutmeg.
- 5. Serve and enjoy!
