How Jamie Oliver Cook Brussel Sprouts And Bacon
- Prep Ingredients: Peel and chop the onions. Pick and finely chop the sage leaves. Trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any tatty outer leaves. Halve the larger sprouts.

- Add Onions and Sage: Stir in the chopped onions and sage. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook slowly for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Boil Brussels Sprouts: In a separate large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 5 minutes until just tender but still with a bit of bite.

What To Serve With Brussel Sprouts And Bacon
You can add many ingredients to this Jamie Oliver recipe to make it even better.
- Add Maple Syrup: Add about 2 tablespoons of maple syrup when you’re combining the Brussels sprouts with the bacon and chestnut mixture. This will give the dish a sweet and smoky flavor.
- Add Honey: Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of honey over the Brussels sprouts just before serving. This adds a touch of sweetness that balances the savory elements.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts after combining them with the bacon and chestnut mixture. Stir well and serve. The cheese adds a nutty, salty kick to the dish.
Storing Leftovers
Place leftover Brussels sprouts and bacon in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
