By Marnie

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound apple wood-smoked bacon, diced
• 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, washed, ends trimmed, halved, and sliced thin
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup golden raisins, chopped
• 1/4 cup sliced, toasted almonds (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

In a large sauté pan, cook bacon over medium heat until slightly crispy, about 10 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts and turn heat to high. Season with salt and pepper. Add butter to pan and cook about 7 minutes, or until Brussels sprouts are tender, but still crisp. Stir in raisins until warm. Transfer to platter and top with almonds, if desired.
