Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 400 g Brussels sprouts
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 slices bacon
- 55 g butter
- 1/2 clove garlic minced crushed
- 1 tsp orange zest optional
- 4 pieces walnut halves/pieces halves
Instructions
- Prepare the Brussels sprouts by removing any dirty leaves, trimming the base a little, then slice the bottom. Place in a small saucepan and add salt to taste.
- Boil in a small amount of water until just cooked, roughly 5-8 minutes. Drain and leave the lid off to allow the steam to escape. You don't want soggy sprouts or a watery sauce.
- In a frying pan or skillet, heat the butter, then gently cook the bacon until it begins to go crispy. Now add the garlic and cook for another minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the orange zest then gently stir in the cooked Brussels sprouts. Stir while heating the Brussels sprouts and coating them in the buttery garlic sauce.
- Serve and use some walnut pieces to garnish.
