directions

  • Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large saucepan.
  • Remove any torn or discolored outer leaves from the spouts and then trim and cut out cores.
  • Add sprouts to the boiling water and blanch for 3-5 minutes; drain and fince with cold water until cool enough to handle. Separate sprouts into leaves and blot dry with paper towels (they can be prepared one day ahead and placed in plastic bag in the fridge).
  • In a skilled cook bacon over medium heat for 5-10 minutes or until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and add sprout leaves, bacon pieces, thyme, salt and pepper. Saute for 2-5 minutes, tossing gently or until heated through.

  1. Whats not to love when bacon is involved...I didn't core the little things...too hard...so after blanching and dunking in cold water...I just cut off the ends and removed the leaves...next time I will increase the thyme or add a bit of dried thyme to get more of the herb flavor...I would also omit the salt because the bacon was salty enough for me...very tasty and delicious...thanks for posting it...=)

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
