Bacon-Braised Brussels Sprouts in Chardonnay
  1. 1

    Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and the garlic in the butter mixture until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes; add the Brussels sprouts and sauté until the edges are slightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle the bacon, chicken bouillon, red pepper flakes, and black pepper over the sprouts mixture; stir and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the wine.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the sprouts reach your desired tenderness, 10 to 15 minutes.
