Brussels sprouts and Bacon Hash

I’ve never been a fan of Brussels sprouts, but I’m a huge fan of bacon so I decided to give it a try with this Brussels sprout and bacon hash.

Brussels sprouts and Bacon Hash

I know that Brussels sprouts can be quite bitter so I referred to my favorite vegetable cookbook and used their method of simmering the little gems in salted water to draw out the bitterness. When everything was sauteed together the sprouts were buttery and sweet with bits of sweet onion and salty bacon.

Brussels sprouts and Bacon Hash

I was shocked when the entire family devoured it. Even my kids, who usually won’t touch Brussels sprouts with a ten foot pole went back for more. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Serves: Serves 4-6

Ingredients

  • 1 pound brussels sprouts, ends cut off
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 6 slices of bacon, chopped (organic, nitrate-free and pastured preferred)
  • 1 onion, chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine brussels sprouts, water and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover with lid, and lower heat to a simmer. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, until a knife inserted into brussesl sprout goes in without any resistance. Strain brussels sprouts and finely chop them.
  2. Cook bacon, over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon. Add onion to pan and saute in bacon fat until soft and caramelized, about 8 minutes. Add chopped brussels sprouts and saute with onions for 5 minutes. Add bacon, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

    I love Brussels sprouts and this sounds fantastic, only I usually just chop them in half.

    I'm your opposite, loving brussels sprouts but not bacon...the thing with bacon is I like it as an ingredient in a few things like Carbonara and mixed in with cabbage...being that cabbage is like brussels sprouts...same family in any case, the good old cruciferous veggie...I will be making these soon...my husband LOVES bacon!

    Wow...how fun it was to check out your latest post and see that you gave this dish a try! I mean, I don't really know why I'm so excited (it's not like I INVENTED brussel sprouts)....I guess it's just that part of me that's always for the underdog, and the brussel sprout is, well, the ultimate underdog! I really do have some strange fascination with getting people to enjoy things they previously said they hated. My husband says I'm crazy. Really...I'm so glad that your family enjoyed this and don't worry, there's no judgement for eating the whole thing. We've done the same thing! :)Oh- if you want to try a couple of other preparations with b sprouts, check these out. These are two more recipes that I LOVE and made my husband change his mind about b sprouts!RECIPE #1- B SPROUTS WITH ISRAELI COUS COUS, PISTACHIOS, GOLDEN RAISINS, AND CINNAMONhttp://velveetaaintfood.blogspot.com/2009/09/there-simply-arent-words.htmlRECIPE #2- B SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA, WARM MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE, AND RICOTTAhttp://velveetaaintfood.blogspot.com/2009/07/it-happens-about-this-time-every-year.htmlAs always, I love and appreciate your blog so much. Thanks for your great work. Love these photos too!Hope you're feeling at home in your new place!! :)

    Is it weird that I've NEVER tasted Brussels sprouts? Never! I have to say, though, that this looks delicious. Stopping by from SITS!

    Carli: I laughed when you said you are facinated when people end up liking something they said they hated. There are many times that friends look at me so strange when I tell them what I cook with and then the next week they are buying it at the store...and then telling their friends about it. haha...Thanks for the other brussels sprout suggestions. By the way, the recipe made the top 9 on foodbuzz yesterday. Just thought you'd like to know!

    This was sooo yummy!! I had an unpleasant first experience with brussel sprouts and wanted to try them again and this was just perfect. I was a little worried that I had too much bacon fat in my pan but once the brussel sprouts got in there it was just perfect, not too greasy at all!! I about halved this recipe and two adults and a toddler ate the whole pan! This will def. be going in my repeat recipe pile. Thank you!!

    My husband's never been a fan of brussel sprouts, but I'm sure he will eat these! Can't wait to make them this weekend. I'm going to try them with peppered uncured turkey bacon. Thanks for the recipe idea!
