In my family nobody likes Brussels sprouts very much, so I prepare salads with this vegetable when my family eats lunch elsewhere. The salad tastes great as a hot dish but could be served with meat as well. It also tastes good as a cold salad. If we would like the salad to be more filling, we should add some slices of fried sausages or smoked bacon.
Ingredients:
0.5 kg Brussels sprouts
4 thin slices of smoked bacon
1 handful of sunflower sprouts
3 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds
1 onion
1 teaspoon of thyme
salt and pepper
Cook the Brussels sprouts with the salt until they are soft. Slice the onion and bacon and fry the bacon in a dry saucepan. Don’t clean the saucepan and fry the onion in the bacon fat. Mix the Brussels sprouts with the bacon, onion and pumpkin seeds. Spice the salad up with the salt, pepper and thyme. Sprinkle it with sunflower sprouts.
Enjoy your meal!
