  1. Pistachios were lost. Didn't add anything. Bacon, brussel sprouts and balsamic were great. I only used half the balsamic and it was plenty.
     
  2. I love Brussels sprouts! This an easy and delicious way to prepare them. I felt the pistachios were a little lost in all the other bold ingredients and didn't really notice them, but I loved the bacon and balsamic.
     
  3. Wow, I just made this for lunch and it was spectacular! I left out the bacon because I'm vegetarian, although I would like to try it with some veggie bacon when I have some on hand. I didn't feel like it was missing anything, though -- great balance of flavors and so easy, too. Thank you, KelBel, I will definitely be making this one again!
     
  4. MMMmmmm. I love Brussels Sprouts! Easy and quick way to fix. The only thing I did differently, was to pour off most of the bacon grease before sauteing the sprouts. As you can see, I also browned the sprouts a little more than called for. Thnx for sharing your recipe, KelBel.
     
  5. This was the hit of Thanksgiving among us sprout eaters. What a delightful combination of flavors. And easy to make on top of everything - key to a great recipe. I used a fig balsamic that I had made over the summer to finish this dish and it was terrific. Thanks so much for this extra-ordinary treatment.
