Laura Calder'S Brussels Sprouts & Bacon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb Brussels sprout
8 slices bacon
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper (to season)

Preparation

Cut the cores from the sprouts and discard. Peel off the leaves, reserving them, and discard or thinly slice the tight, innermost heads. Heat a saute pan and fry the bacon until crisp; remove to paper towel to drain. Pour all but a tablespoon of fat from the pan. Add the butter, to melt. Toss the leaves in, and saute until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Season, crumble over the bacon, and serve.
