Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Bacon in a Mustard Cream Sauce

Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Bacon in a Mustard Cream Sauce

Roasted brussels sprouts and smoky bacon in a creamy mustard sauce.

Although the main course usually gets a lot of focus for special holiday dinners it’s also important to have some tasty sides and these roasted brussels sprouts and bacon in a creamy mustard sauce are a great way to go! This brussels sprout side dish is super easy to make where you pretty much just need to roast the brussels sprouts, cook the bacon and make the sauce. You could go with steamed brussels sprouts for this dish but roasting them really helps to bring out their flavour. The sauce is nice and simple and yet it’s just packed with flavour! It starts out with some onions and garlic followed by some flour to thicken the sauce, some milk, the grainy mustard and a hit of miso before it is finished off with some parmesan cheese. You really cannot go wrong with this roasted brussels sprout side dish as a side for your special holiday meal!

ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 strips bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white miso (optional)
  • 1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano cheese, grated
  • salt and pepper to taste
directions
  1. Toss the brussels sprouts in the olive oil, salt and pepper, spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 400F/200C oven until golden brown, about 20-30 minutes, flipping half way through.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a pan, set it aside and drain all but a tablespoon of the grease.
  3. Add the butter to the pan and let it melt and bubble.
  4. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
  6. Mix in the flour and let cook until it just starts to brown a little.
  7. Mix in the milk, mustard, miso, parmesan, brussels sprouts and bacon, season with salt and pepper and let it simmer until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes

    Hi, your list of ingredients is missing some garlic. The directions mention garlic twice while the list of ingredients only lists one.

    Anonymous: Miso is a Japanese style fermented soy bean paste. It is optional in this recipe and although it adds a nice flavour, it will still be very tasty without it. You can find out more about miso here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miso

    Made this for Christmas dinner and making it again for Easter dinner tomorrow. BUT can you tell me if this can be either partially or completely done today and either finished or just reheated tomorrow?

    Christine Martin: I find the texture of the roasted brussels sprouts is best on the first day but you can roast them the day before, keep the separate from the sauce and just mix and reheat when ready.

    You are right, Kevin. Yesterday when I roasted the sprouts I could have eaten the whole pan just as they were (almost did!). Today they have taken on a bit of the bitter taste of sprouts. Still love them, but maybe everyone won't. All in all definitely a keeper recipe. I have never roasted sprouts before but definitely will again. Thanks so much for this delish recipe! Phyllis
