Ingredients:
· 8 oz. bacon, thick sliced (peppered, if desired), diced
· 2 T. butter
· 1# baby brussels sprouts, whole
· 4 oz assorted pearl onions, or cipollini onions
· 5 cloves garlic, smashed
· 5 sprigs thyme
· Freshly ground black pepper
· 1 C. chicken demi glace
· 1 sprig rosemary
Preparation
1. Heat a large pan to medium heat. Add the bacon and render until crispy. Remove to a paper towel plate.
2. Add the butter to the bacon fat. When melted, add the brussels sprouts and pearl onions. Do not stir – let them caramelize. Flop over to the other side and add the garlic and thyme to the pan. Let caramelize on the other side, add the black pepper, demi glace, and rosemary, and reserved bacon and bake in a preheated 425 degrees oven until the brussels sprouts are cooked, about 10-15 minutes. Do not over season with salt.
