This is a great braised Brussels sprouts side dish to serve with grilled meat or other vegetables. I get many requests for this when catering. People who usually don’t like Brussels sprouts love these!

Ingredients
¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
½ cup crumbled cooked bacon
2 tablespoons powdered chicken bouillon
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup Chardonnay wine
Directions
Melt butter with olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and garlic in butter mixture until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes; add Brussels sprouts and sauté until slightly browned on edges, 5 to 10 minutes.
Sprinkle bacon, chicken bouillon, red pepper flakes, and black pepper over sprouts mixture; stir and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until sprouts are desired tenderness, 10 to 15 minutes.
Cook's Note:
Chardonnay works best, but feel free to use your favorite white wine.
