Brussels Sprouts With Bread Crumbs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 slices bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces
2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed
1/3 cup dried fresh breadcrumb
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
fresh ground black pepper

Preparation

Chiffonade the sprouts by cutting crosswise into 1/4\" ribbons. Rinse well and set aside.
Saute the bacon in a large frying pan until cooked, but not too crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Discard all but about a tablespoon of the drippings.
Saute the sprouts in the drippings over medium heat until just tender. They will turn a lovely shade of green. 3-6 minutes.
Add back the bacon. Sprinkle the bread crumbs, lemon juice and pepper (to taste) over the sprouts. Stir well to combine.
Serve immediately.
