Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 450 g brussels sprouts ((1 lb))
  • 85 g bacon lardons ((1/2 cup))
  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup boiling water

Instruction

  • Wash the brussels sprouts and cut them in half.
  • In a pan, add the bacon lardons and fry until brown.
  • Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the oil and brussels sprouts and leave to cook for 2-3 minutes, shaking the pan now and then.
  • Add the garlic and half of the water, place a lid on and leave to cook on a medium heat until the water evaporates, that should take 1-2 minutes.
  • If the brussels sprouts are not tender enough at this point, add the remaining water, and cook again with the lid on; once the vater evaporates, the sprouts are tender, and slightly caramelised on the edges.
  • Add the cooked bacon, and parmesan, and remove from the heat.
