Brussels sprouts
From the "Kids' Corner" - Warm Brussels Sprout Salad with Bacon & Maple Syrup
Thanks to Benedictine University Dietetic Intern Erica Hanson for sharing this recipe. Erica says: "This...will appeal to kids because the...sprouts are shredded, then mixed with other yummy ingredients so the taste is less obvious.”
1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts
4 slices bacon or pancetta
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup hazelnuts
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Trim Brussels sprouts by cutting the root ends off. Place the shredding blade in your food processor. Shred Brussels sprouts. Cook bacon in a large skillet. Remove, drain and crumble. Add Brussels sprouts to bacon drippings. Sauté 4 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook. Add maple syrup, hazelnuts and salt to the Brussels sprouts. Stir in bacon. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese, saving a little for garnish. Serve, topped with cheese.
