I tried this dish at a Spanish tapas restaurant, and tried to copy it. I know it's far from low-fat, but every now and then, you've got to splurge! I guessed on the amounts, and didn't measure anything. :( So, this is all kinda approximate!
Ingredients
- about 1 lb of brussel sprouts, trimmed and halved shopping list
- 4 strips of uncooked bacon, diced shopping list
- half a medium onion, diced shopping list
- 1 clove garlic, minced shopping list
- 1/4 cup sherry (not cooking sherry) shopping list
- 1/2 cup cream (not half&half) shopping list
- 2 Tbsp olive oil shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 475
- In bowl, toss halved brussel sprouts in olive oil
- Place halves sliced side down in a 9x13 baking pan (I used a glass one, cooking times may vary for dark or non-stick pans) This will brown the sliced parts, and a little of the tops. I think it makes them very pretty. :)
- Place in hot oven for 15 minutes
- Place diced bacon in cold medium skillet, and saute over medium heat until starting to brown a little on the edges
- Add onions to bacon and grease and saute until onion starts to become translucent
- Add garlic, stirring well for about one minute
- Add sherry, stir, then add cream and stir well
- Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly, and as soon as you see it bubbling, reduce heat to low (or med-low, depending on your stove) and simmer until it's reduced by about half, stirring occasionally.
- (Once it's reduced, it will thicken up so that it coats your spoon well, but won't be thick like a white cream sauce)
- Salt and pepper to taste, toss roasted brussel sprouts in sauce
- Serve and indulge!
