My Brother Brussels

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 pound Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed, loose leaves removed
• 1/2 pound bacon, thinly cut into 1/4-inch pieces
• 1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, for garnish

1. Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt and the Brussels sprouts.
2. Put the pot over high heat and bring to a boil.
3. Let boil until the Brussels sprouts are just fork tender about, 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat, drain the sprouts and transfer to an ice bath.
5. Let cool completely, then drain and set aside.
6. Cut the Brussels sprouts into 1/4-inch lengthwise slices and set aside.
7. Add the bacon to a medium saute pan, and cook until just crisp, then remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
8. Adjust heat to medium-high, add the onions to the pan and saute until they are translucent and just beginning to caramelize, about 5 or 6 minutes.
9. Add the butter to the pan, then add the Brussels sprouts and saute for 3 to 4 more minutes.
10. Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper.
11. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and sprinkle with the reserved bacon and the cheese.
12. Serve immediately.
