brussels sprouts

ok now there are so many ways to cook these motherfuckers. but this way is in some sense of the words "the way"

adapted over the years from friends.

you will need:
*a bag of brussel sprouts   cut them in half
 (i think most of the time they are packed in 1/2pd bags)
*butter  i like the irish stuff.
*one large onion
*salt and pepp
*nutmeg
*oregano
*pine nuts
*bacon two to three strips or more if you want you fatass
*white wine
*fresh parsley chopped up


here is how you make it:

fry up that bacon!!!!! if you don't do meat then skip this. it will still taste fucking amazing.
drain off most of the bacon fat, and put the crispy strips to the side.

put some butter (1tablespoon) with the bacon fat in the pan and cut up the onion in thick rounds, saute. now this part takes a bit because you are going to saute on low for about 20 mins or so. the onions are going to do amazing things!!!! truly.
so you can cover those bitches and check them often, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
when the onions are almost done add 3-4 cloves of garlic. crush, dice, chop, whole..whatever you like.

now you can throw in the brussel sprouts, sprinkle with nutmeg, oregano and add more salt and pepper. also add more butter(another tablespoon). cover and check for when the brussels are almost done pour in some white wine. i am thinking 1/4 cup. let the alcohol cook off. add a small handful of pinenuts or walnuts, chopped up bacon pieces, fresh parsley if you got it.

enjoy!
