Brussels sprouts with cream and bacon recipe

I always was a fussy eater as a kid and my mother didn’t know how to make me eat vegetables. Surprisingly I loved brussels sprouts. That was quite unusual as children are not big fan of these little green vegetables.

But who can resist… The bitterness of brussels sprouts disappears thanks to smoked bacon and onions. Fried onions and thick cream sweeten the taste of the recipe even more and you can add some pepper and Espelette pepper to enhance flavour.

Simply serve as a signature side or as main course. I served it with a roasted guinea fowl. But you can associate these brussels sprouts with any kind of poultry.

I like also brussels sprouts together with wild game and roasted chestnuts. This will be then the perfect recipe for next autumn.

Adrien didn’t like brussels sprouts until he tried this recipe few weeks ago. He told me that of course together with onions and bacon, it tasted wonderful.

    Brussels sprouts, I think, are my favorite vegetable. I usually just add olive oil or browned butter. But I’ve never thought to add cream. How exquisite!
