Shredded Brussels Sprouts With Bacon And Nutmeg

1. 1

   1. First, mince the bacon and start frying it over medium high heat. While it's frying, cut the stems off the Brussels sprouts and then either shred or dice them. I halved them lengthwise and then kind of whacked at the halves. No need to be precise here. Once they're shredded, give them a thorough wash in the sink.

   2. Once the bacon is nice and browned, remove it from the pan. Drain the bacon grease out of the pan, and add the butter. Keep the heat at medium high.

   3. As soon as the butter has melted, add the shredded/chopped Brussels sprouts. Cook for about 5 minutes and add salt and pepper to taste, along with the nutmeg.

   4. Add the bacon back in, and continue to cook for another few minutes. Add the lemon juice right at the end. Give it a taste-add more nutmeg or lemon juice if needed. You're looking for a little burst of freshness in your mouth, but not one that overwhelms the flavors from the bacon and nutmeg.
