• Place a medium pot of water on to boil
• Clean the brussel sprouts by cutting down the stem and removing the outer leaves, score the core to speed up cooking
• Once cleaned, salt the water and drop the sprouts into the boiling water
• Allow to cook until firm, yet tender, about 8-10 minutes, depending on size
• If you wish to serve them later, quickly remove the Brussel sprouts and place in an ice bath of cold water to stop the cooking
• Meanwhile, julienne the sliced bacon
• Place in a large sauté pan on medium-high heat with the butter
• Saute just until the bacon begins to soften, then add the Brussel sprouts and continue to pan roast until the sprouts are lightly browned and the bacon starts to crisp up
• Add the sultana raisins, season and cook just until the raisins soften, 1-2 minutes more
• Serve and enjoy!
