ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON & ALMONDS

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until desired crispness. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, reserving 3 tbsp. of the bacon grease.
• Discard the remaining bacon grease or save for another use. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix Brussels sprouts in a bowl with the reserved bacon grease, salt, and pepper. Pour them on a rimmed baking pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly.
• Crumble the bacon. Stir the bacon and almonds into the Brussels sprouts. Serve immediately.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Using a mandoline on the setting that cuts 1/8th-inch slices, hold the stem, slice all of the Brussels sprouts and discard the stems. Set shavings aside.
• Cut the bacon into pieces by slicing the whole 12-ounce slab of slices in half, then stack and slice.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat and once hot, spray* with pan spray. (*Pull pan off flame before spraying pan.)
• Add bacon and cook until just short of crisp, about 5-8 minutes.
• Use a spider or slotted spoon and remove the bacon to a bowl or plate.
• Pour off all but ¼ cup of the bacon fat.
• Add the shaved sprouts and sauté about ten minutes or until your desired doneness. We like them a little underdone so ours were cooked in eight minutes.
• Add the reserved bacon, salt and pepper and cook just to heat.
• Serve immediately.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD WITH DATES, MANCHEGO AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and shallots. Let stand 5 minutes, so the acidity in the lemon juice can begin to break down the shallots. Whisk in the Dijon and honey until well combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Season aggressively with salt and add pepper to taste.
• Add the sprouts, dates, manchego and almonds and toss to coat. The salad can be dressed 15 to 20 minutes in advance if you like more tender Brussels sprouts.
