Instant Pot Citrus-Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Found in my cookbook, I Love My Instant Pot, these Instant Pot CITRUS-BACON BRUSSELS SPROUTS are an amazing healthy and quick side dish.
Although a great source of vitamins C and K, Brussels sprouts are usually a love ’em or
leave ’em vegetable. But this recipe will make giving this vegetable one more chance
worth your while. This dish pairs nicely with a roasted potato and Cornish hen meal—and a
crisp glass of chardonnay, of course.
Have you ever wondered why some people just seem to shovel those beautiful little cabbages into their mouth with glee and you turn your nose up? Well, it just may be in your DNA. Not everyone’s taste receptors receive Brussels sprouts in the same way, similar to how some people love cilantro while others can’t stomach it. With the inclusion of orange and bacon, give these pushed aside mini cabbages a second chance!
