Pan Fried Sprouts with Leek and Bacon

Quick, easy and utterly delicious this Pan Fried Sprouts with Leek and Bacon recipe is hands down my favourite Brussels Sprouts recipe of all time (though there are some close contenders!)

Pan Fried Sprouts with Leek and Bacon

This Pan Fried Sprouts with Leek and Bacon recipe really is my all-time favourite sprout dish. It is so delicious – I could eat a whole pan-full. (In fact, after making this for the photos, I pretty much did!)

The sprouts and leeks are pan-fried in butter before adding cubed smoked bacon – or lardons. I use these these cute little packs of lardons from the Tesco finest range which are just perfect for this dish.

The result is amazing – the salty smokyness of the bacon pairs so beautifully with the sweet, earthiness of the leeks and the nuttiness of the sprouts. This dish is virtually guaranteed to convert all but the most sprout-resistant!

If you only make one sprout dish this Christmas make this one!

Serve my Pan Fried Sprouts with Leek and Bacon as part of a roast dinner or with a big pile of creamy mashed potatoes for a quick and tasty supper.

Any leftovers can be use in my Sprout and Leek Colcannon or in my Leftover Sprouts Bubble and Squeak Cakes.

    Yay! More sprouts! This looks delicious! I could happily just eat a big plateful of these for my lunch. In fact, I think that’s what I did last year when I made your sprouts with chorizo and almonds recipe! Thanks for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice x

    Give me all the sprouts!! Sautéed sprouts with bacon is already one of my favorite go-to side dishes, but I love the addition of the leeks in yours. I’m definitely trying this soon!
