How to cook deliciously - Brussels Sprouts in a Sherry Bacon Cream Sauce

1. Stage

Dissolve 1 tablespoon salt in enough water to cover Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Allow to soak for 1 hour. Drain off water, then toss sprouts in olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to coat thoroughly. Set aside.

2. Stage

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

3. Stage

Cook and stir bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until just beginning to brown at the edges, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add shallot and mushrooms; cook and stir until shallot turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in cream and sherry; stir until well combined. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half and sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

4. Stage

While sauce is cooking, arrange Brussels sprouts, cut-side down, onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

5. Stage

Transfer sprouts to sauce and toss to coat. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
