Fart Balls

That's what Gary calls Brussels sprouts, but I've learned an excellent way to prepare them. It, of course, involves bacon, as does any recipe that transforms something yucky into something yummy.

Trim 1 lb. of Brussels sprouts, cutting away tough core and removing any yellow or spotted leaves. Shred coarsely in food processor (or use a knife to slice very thinly crosswise). Meanwhile, toast a scant 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts in the oven. Now, dice up two strips of bacon and cook them in a pan until nice and crisp. Remove them with a slotted spoon and put on paper towels to drain. Dump the Brussels sprouts into the hot bacon fat in the pan and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender. Stir in bacon and hazelnuts and season generously with salt and pepper. Delish!
