Ingredients:
3/4 pound thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
4 tablespoons unsalted butter |
2 pounds brussels sprouts, thinly sliced in a food processor |
salt and freshly ground pepper |
2 granny smith apples--peeled, cored, coarsely shredded and squeezed dry |
1 teaspoon thyme leaves |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels; reserve 1/4 cup of fat.
2. In a large, enameled cast-iron casserole, melt the butter in the bacon fat. Add the Brussels sprouts in batches and cook over high heat, stirring, until softened but still bright green, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the apples and thyme; cook, stirring, until the apples are warmed through. Transfer the slaw to a platter, scatter the bacon on top and serve.
3. Make Ahead: The cooked bacon and bacon fat and the uncooked thinly sliced sprouts can be refrigerated overnight. Recrisp the bacon before serving.
