Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Brazil Nuts
Cooking Steps
Place bacon strips on a baking sheet and cook at 400 degrees until desired wellness
(I like mine still bendable but slightly crispy, which takes about 15 minutes)
While the bacon is cooking…
Put Brussels sprouts in a pot with just enough water to barely cover half of the sprouts
Cook over medium-high heat for 12-15 minutes, depending on texture preference
(I like mine still a bit crunchy and cook them for about 12 minutes)
Drain water, put sprouts back in pot
Cut the sprouts in half (smaller if desired)
Add butter, amount as desired (Plan to also use fat from the bacon!)
Add Brazil nuts
Once the bacon is prepared…
Pour some of the bacon fat into the pot with the sprouts, butter and nuts
Continue to cook the sprouts over medium to medium-high heat for approximately 10 minutes
Remove from heat
Crumble the bacon slices and add to the sprouts mixture
(Do not add the bacon while it is over heat, or the bacon will continue to cook and become rubbery)
Serves 5
20-30 mins

Wow! What an amazing and creative recipe! Can’t wait to make this it sounds delicious. I have seen some terrific recipes from Keirsten’s Kitchen here. Thanks for sharing!
Thumb’s up!
Prepared it twice by now, and it’s very good.
One of the times I threw in a whole bunch of shrimps during the final 3 minutes. Very good too.
Also, there’s no need to bake the bacon. I chop up the bacon strips into small pieces and dry fry them 7-10 minutes. Within moments they deep fry in their own fat. Once they become slightly crispy, take them out and proceed with the rest of the recipe.
