Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 lices thick smoked bacon chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts
  • ½ cup vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • salt and pepper to taste a pinch each
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Clean, trim, and cut the sprouts: Remove the stem by cutting it off with a paring knife. Remove the damaged and/or lose outer leaves by hand. Then, rinse the remaining layers with cold water to make them fully clean. Pat dry! Next, cut into a shape of a cross (about ¼-inch deep).
  2. Cook: Press the sauté button and let the pot heat for about 4-5 minutes. Pour in oil and cook the bacon until brown, about 4-5 minutes, stirring every once in a while to keep it from sticking. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve.
  3. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring often to avoid browning. Add sprouts and cook for about 1 minute, stirring once and a while. Pour broth and add seasonings. Stir!
  4. Lock lid, secure the valve, and set manually for 3 minutes. Do a quick release!
  5. Toss bacon and lemon juice. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese if you want. To add a bit of a holiday touch, you may add about 2-3 tablespoons of chopped dried cranberries.

Notes

  • Storage
  • Thaw in the fridge. To reheat, you may microwave for about 1-2 minutes or until hot.
  • If raw, store Brussels sprouts in a plastic bag in your refrigerator's crisper. That way,  they'll keep for at least one week or longer. 
  • If cooked, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze them in labeled freezer bags or containers for up to 2 months. This is one of those easy freezer meals that you want to make again and again.
