Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Butter

What I love most about this sprout recipe is how fresh it is.

Don’t over cook them. They only need a few minutes, and they will stay fresh and tasty.

Most people go wrong when they over cook them, and over cooked sprouts do not taste good!

You can tell a deliciously cooked spout from a bad one by the colour, I think.

If they’ve kept their bright green colour, they’ll be delicious.

If they’re a little washed, then they’re overdone.
