1/2 pound Brussels sprouts
1/4 cup hazelnuts
3 tablespoons butter
2 slices bacon
sea salt and pepper
Trim and clean the sprouts, removing any yellow leaves and slice stem to top about 1/4 inch thick.
Chop nuts in a food processor to a medium texture.
Melt a tablespoon of the butter and saute the nuts for about 5 minutes to brown and bring out the flavor. Remove the nuts to a clean cool plate and set aside.
Cook 2 pieces of bacon until crisp. Cool, crumble and set aside.
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and saute the sliced sprouts over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes until they brown lightly. Add the nuts and bacon and heat through. Season and Serve.
