Maple and Bacon Brussel Sprouts Recipe

Maple and Bacon Brussel Sprouts Recipe

Brussel sprouts might not be everyone’s favourite part of the Christmas dinner but we’re sure you’ll love these, cooked with maple syrup and bacon.

Ingredients

• 350g brussel sprouts, trimmed and outer leaves removed
• 5 pieces of streaky bacon rashers
• 
  2 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup, Amber Rich
  
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Black pepper

Instructions

1. Bring a pan of water to boil and add the trimmed sprouts. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes until nearly tender and then add the sprouts to a large bowl of ice water. Allow to cool, then drain and cut in half.
2. Cut the bacon into bite size pieces. Heat a large frying pan with the oil and fry the bacon and when it is lightly browned pour off excess fat. Add the maple syrup to the bacon and cook for a couple of minutes over low heat to caramelise. Then add the sprouts and cook for a few minutes to heat through.
3. Place on a serving dish and season with black pepper.
