My Brother Brussels

My Brother Brussels

Ingredients:
salt, table
brussels sprouts, raw
bacon, meatless
onions, raw
butter, without salt
spices, pepper, black
cheese, parmesan, hard

Directions:
Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt and the Brussels sprouts.
Put the pot over high heat and bring to a boil.
Let boil until the Brussels sprouts are just fork tender about, 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat, drain the sprouts and transfer to an ice bath.
Let cool completely, then drain and set aside.
Cut the Brussels sprouts into 1/4-inch lengthwise slices and set aside.
Add the bacon to a medium saute pan, and cook until just crisp, then remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Adjust heat to medium-high, add the onions to the pan and saute until they are translucent and just beginning to caramelize, about 5 or 6 minutes.
Add the butter to the pan, then add the Brussels sprouts and saute for 3 to 4 more minutes.
Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper.
Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and sprinkle with the reserved bacon and the cheese.
Serve immediately.
