Shredded Brussels Sprouts With Dried Apricots And Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• Trim brussels sprouts; shred in a food processor fitted with a slicing blade. Set aside.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes; transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Discard all but 1 tablespoon rendered fat from skillet. Add brussels sprouts and water; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until sprouts are tender, 20 to 25 minutes (add more water if pan becomes dry).
• To serve, crumble bacon over sprouts; drizzle with cider vinegar, if desired.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons grease, crumble and set aside.
• In the same skillet, melt butter in with reserved bacon grease over medium heat. Add pine nuts, and cook, stirring until browned. Add Brussels sprouts and green onions to the pan, and season with seasoning salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until sprouts are wilted and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in crumbled bacon just before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts to the hot oil, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Add apricots and saute until sprouts are cooked but still firm and bright green, about 5 more minutes. Stir in bacon just before serving.

Steps:

• Place the Brussels sprouts in the feed tube of the food processor fitted with a large slicing disc. (There is no need to core them.) Process the Brussels sprouts until they're all sliced.
• Place the butter and olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and heat it over medium heat. Add the sliced Brussels sprouts, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and saute them, stirring frequently, for about 4 to 5 minutes, until tender but still bright green. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, season to taste, and serve hot.
