Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If sprouts are small, simply trim them; if larger, trim and cut in half top to bottom. Put bacon in ovenproof pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just about crisp, 5 minutes or so. Remove with slotted spoon and add sprouts, cut-side down.

  2. Step 2

    Cook until they begin to sizzle, then transfer to oven. Roast until brown on one side, then shake pan to redistribute. Remove when bright green but browned and fairly tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, purée kimchi in food processor or blender until fairly smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Return pan to stove over medium heat and stir in butter, salt and pepper, and bacon. Put kimchi in bottom of a bowl and top with sprouts. Spoon a little kimchi juice over all and serve.

Cooking Notes

Rather than spread the kimchi in the serving dish I added it to the pan at the end with the butter and bacon. The liquid in the kimchi deglazed the brown bits in the pan. I also garnished with chopped peanuts. No extra salt needed.

I didn’t purée the kimchi, I added at the end with the butter and it was perfect. The kimchi helped deglaze the pan plus I prefer the chunks of kimchi mixed in with the Brussel sprouts.

This was good without bacon and butter. Just saute sprouts in oil (like sesame) and add pureed kimchi.

One thing you can do is, prep this beautiful delicious recipe and refrigerate it for a while. The brussel sprouts will absorb more flavor and honestly it tastes amazing when its cold.

The kimchi overwhelmed the flavors of the brussels sprouts and bacon. While it was delicious, if I make this again, I will use about a quarter as much kimchi.

Delicious and quick dinner. I used coconut oil when cooking the brussels on the stovetop and then added butter with the kimchi (non puréed), and then added chopped peanuts for garnish. The flavors and textures worked very well together.

I poured the kimchi over the bacon & sprouts while in the oven and let them get a little oven action as well. We loved this dish!

Bright and exciting taste. Would salt the sprouts when roasting next time instead afterwards. Tiny carrot cubes atop looked pretty.

I roasted the Brussels sprouts with garlic and topped it with thinly sliced Korean pear for contrast. The pic has carrots, so I decided to put pear. Also considered daikon radish but the sweetness was a nice touch.

Roast block of tofu and add, top w scallions...OMG amazing

This is tasty and simple to put together.

I added a tablespoon of olive oil to the kimchi to help the purée process.
