Caramelized Garlic Bacon Sprouts
Every year for Thanksgiving I ask my mother what she would like me to bring and every year it is the same “Can you bring those sprouts you make?” Of course she is referring to the caramelized Brussels sprouts I make with just a little bacon cooked in Cucina Aurora Roasted Garlic Oil. This easy side dish is the only thing there is never left overs of!
We have done a few variations of this recipe. In an older video we added Shallots for a little sweetness, more recently on WMUR’s Cooks Corner, we omitted the shallots and just let the bacon and garlic cook down with the sprouts. Either way, you choose to enjoy this recipe it is delicious and super simple!
