This vibrant Brussels sprouts with bacon and raisins dish offers a sophisticated twist on a classic winter side. By pan-frying the sprouts in smoky bacon fat and finishing them with a splash of apple cider vinegar, you achieve a perfect balance of salty, sweet, and tangy flavours. The golden raisins plump up beautifully in the chicken broth, providing a gentle sweetness that complements the charred, nutty edges of the sprouts.
Ideal for a Sunday roast or as a festive accompaniment to your Christmas dinner, this recipe is a fantastic way to elevate seasonal greens. It is naturally dairy-free when using a plant-based butter alternative and provides a high-fibre, vitamin-rich addition to any meal. Serve these sprouts piping hot alongside roasted poultry or game for a truly comforting autumn feast.

Ingredients for Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Raisins
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 thick slices bacon
4 cups Brussels sprouts (about 450g ), trimmed, halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
40g golden raisins
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
120ml low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
How to make Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Raisins
Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Let cool. Coarsely crumble. (Make sure crumbled bacon is unreachable by children, or it will disappear before you need it again.)
While bacon cools, add brussels sprouts to drippings in skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until well browned in spots and beginning to soften, 5-7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add raisins, shallot, and butter; cook, stirring often, until shallot is soft, about 3 minutes. Add broth to skillet; increase heat and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until broth has evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Stir in vinegar and crumbled bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
