Bacon and hazelnuts make this Brussels sprouts recipe appealing to even the pickiest eater. To get a head start on dinner, cut the bacon and slice the sprouts in the morning. You can toast the nuts up to two days ahead.

Even better when you add dried parsley & rosemary when you sauté the Brussels sprouts

I love Brussels sprouts, and thi recipe just doesn't do anything for me. There are just much better ways to prepare Brussels sprouts. I like shredding them, but the bacon and hazelnuts flavors don't marry well.

This recipe will make you a Brussels sprouts eater, which I wasn't until I tried this. Yummy!

Both family and guests really enjoy this dish. I usually serve with a meat dish - good with meatloaf and pork tenderloin. Made this on several occasions, with roasted almonds every time - I use the bagged salad ones. Perhaps it's even more delicious with hazelnuts! Good even without the bacon. And really... how many people LOVE whole b sprouts? But this is a really yummy and healthy way to enjoy all their goodness.

This has become a favorite with our family. Even the picky teenagers and adults who say they don't like Brussels Sprouts love this dish. I first made it for Thanksgiving in 2006 with hazelnuts I brought home from Sicily, but it is easy enough to serve anytime. I will continue to make it with whatever nuts I have on hand.
