Sweet and Savory Brussels Sprouts

Sweet and Savory Brussels Sprouts

We love brussels sprouts. They are delicious just steamed with some butter or olive oil but why not kick it up a notch and try it with something sweet! You can use either raisins or currants, or both. Try pancetta instead of bacon. This is a quick and easy recipe and very healthy and filling.

makes 4 servings

  • 1 lb brussels sprouts
  • 8 thick slices bacon
  • ¾ cup currants or raisins
  • 1 apple, diced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
