Recipe: Brussels Sprouts Filled with Bacon

1 Bring 4 liters (4.25 qt) of well-salted water to a boil, then add your Brussels sprouts.

2 After 7 to 8 minutes, test one with a knife; if it goes in easily, remove your sprouts and refresh them under cold water.

3 Drain them, then at the center, lengthwise, slit them 3/4 of the way through, insert a lardon, and hold everything together with a wooden pick.

4 In a large skillet, pour a little oil and a generous knob of butter. When hot, roast your Brussels sprouts 4 minutes on each side.
Present as a garnish or as a light evening meal with a small slice of bresaola in the center, for example
*Bresaola is an Italian charcuterie made from dried and smoked beef; you can replace it with Grisons meat
