Loved the flavours put together here, but I still love my brussels boiled rather than fried. Will make again but boil the brussels first then add all the rest. Rest of the family loved the combination also.

    Four ingredients equals fabulous flavor! And this is pretty straightforward to make. I doubled the recipe for a large dinner party. So that did double both prep and cooking time, but well worth it. It's really an easy recipe. I trimmed the stem ends off and removed the tougher outer leaves. When I cut them in half, I immersed them in an ice bath. Followed the recipe exactly, putting all 4 pounds of sprouts into a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Served with a few extra grinds of fresh nutmeg, and all eight people at the dinner liked them very much, with one saying 'I must have this recipe!' A true keeper. Thanks for posting, Mary!

    I'm giving this a 4-star even though I HATE brussel sprouts. This was the first time I ever cooked them and was assured by the brussel sprout lovers of the family that they were DELISH! If they were EVER going to be any good to me, it would have been in this dish. (: The bacon and pine nuts were excellent. (;
