Brussels Sprouts Kabobs

This is a good veggie side dish for a potluck or dinner party because you can do all the prep, up to putting everything on the skewers, the day before. Then you just pop the dish in the oven for the final cook when ready to serve. Plus, it's a pretty presentation and easy to handle in a buffet! Easy to adjust the number of servings because there are no precise measurements of ingredients.

6 servings

Cooking time :

45 minutes

16 oz.

Brussels Sprouts, washed, bottoms trimmed

6 slices

thick sliced bacon

1/2

lg. onion

- to 10-inch long bamboo skewers

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soak the skewers in hot water for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°F. Par-bake the bacon 20-25 minutes so it's still bendy.

* Step 2

Remove bacon to a plate (NO paper towels; don't want the fat blotted) and pour the bacon fat into a large skillet. Don't clean the baking dish yet; you're going to bake the kabobs in it.

* Step 3

While the bacon is par-cooking, separate the onion half into rings. Cut into large pieces as shown. Cut the larger Brussels Sprouts in half; small ones can remain whole.

* Step 4

In the large skillet with the bacon fat, very lightly brown the Brussels Sprouts, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from skillet.

* Step 5

When cooled, build the kabobs. Start with an onion piece, followed by bacon then sprout. The bacon snakes back & forth on the skewers, so you have to work close to the sharp end of the skewers to keep the bacon in one piece.
