Love Beets, wife likes Okra, we both love Brussels Sprouts, especially the Ruth’s Chris recipe:

ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS
Ruth Chris Steak House Copycat Recipe

Serves 2-3

1 lb. fresh Brussels Sprouts (not frozen)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3-4 slices of applewood smoked bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
ground black pepper for seasoning

Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Trim the bottom end of Brussels sprouts, and pull off the outer dark leaves. Halve through the core. Add Brussels sprouts to boiling water and cook, uncovered, until tender - about 7 minutes. While Brussels sprouts are boiling, add the oil and bacon to a large skillet (I prefer cast iron), and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the bacon is crispy. When Brussels sprouts are tender, drain and rinse under cold running water. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Increase heat to medium high. Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. After five minutes, sprouts will start to brown a little. Add apple cider vinegar and stir. Cook an additional 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, add maple syrup. Continue stirring until edges of sprouts are brown and crispy (about 2-3 additional minutes.) Add bacon. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.

my (Flemish) wife has made braised/sauteed brussel sprouts for us for years, we love them. She adds nutmeg which she insists is the secret to authentic sprouts, especially when fresh ground.
She thinks your recipe has potential and she will check it out.
Thanks

stirring occasionally until the bacon is crispy.

Who in the world STIRS bacon?

That aside, I must try this recipe, but I will turn my bacon lovingly.

Thanks for the brussel sprouts recipe.

I like all of these foods, but am especially fond of cilantro. I figure it probably has something in it that I really need, or I wouldn’t be so drawn to it.
