This is a great braised Brussels sprouts side dish to serve with grilled meat or other vegetables. I get many requests for this when catering. People who usually don't like Brussels sprouts love these!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 onion, minced

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

  • ½ cup crumbled cooked bacon

  • 2 tablespoons powdered chicken bouillon

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • ½ cup Chardonnay wine

Directions

  1. Melt butter with olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and garlic in butter mixture until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes; add Brussels sprouts and sauté until slightly browned on edges, 5 to 10 minutes.

  2. Sprinkle bacon, chicken bouillon, red pepper flakes, and black pepper over sprouts mixture; stir and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine.

  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until sprouts are desired tenderness, 10 to 15 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Chardonnay works best, but feel free to use your favorite white wine.
