Brussels sprouts

So he is one of my favorite recipes.  You will need:

-1 lb Brussels Sprouts (should be bright green and firm)

-4 strips of bacon

-Salt and Pepper

-That's it!!!

To begin wash sprouts and cut in half lengthwise, if they are really small you don't need to cut them.  Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil then drop in the sprouts.  Cook for 2 minutes then strain out and put in an ice bath to shock.  You can now dry them and keep them for a few days or continue right now.  Dice the bacon and throw into a 12 inch saute pan and brown.  Strain out the bacon and put the pan back on the burn and turn the heat to high.  Also turn your broiler on.  When bacon fat is really hot throw in the sprouts.  Throw on a good pinch of slat and fresh ground pepper.  Sear them for about a minute and then flip them and do the other side.  Now put the pan under the broiler for about 2 minutes until sprouts are nicely caramelized.  Eat immediately.
