Preparation

Step 1

Steam Brussels sprouts about 5 to 8 minutes.

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Place on paper towel to drain. When cooled a little, crumble or cut into strips.

Melt 1 teaspoon butter in same skillet. Add leeks and 1 1/2 tablespoons water; toss to coat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes.

Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter to skillet; stir until melted. Add Brussels sprouts, remaining 1/2 tablespoon water, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until Brussels sprouts are hot and coated, about 3 minutes.

Stir in maple syrup and vinegar; toss to coat. Add pecans and bacon; toss over low heat until well mixed and heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
