Ingredients
4 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
1 lb brussels sprouts
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3 sage leaves
2 bay leaves
2 oz olive oil
pinch of salt & black pepper
3 slices lemon
1 tbsp butter
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 deg In a saute pan, over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until the fat has been rendered. Remove to paper towels to drain. In a large bowl, add all the remaining ingredients except the butter and toss until the sprouts are coated with the oil. Lay out a 20 inch piece of parchment paper over aluminum foil on a sheet pan and pour the sprouts mixture into the middle, then top with the butter and bacon. Fold the foil over itself to form a pouch and put into the oven. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until they smell done. Remove the sprouts from the oven and transfer them into a serving bowl.
