Grilled Brussels Sprout Kebobs With Bacon Lardons Brussels sprouts and bacon go together like, well, brussels sprouts and bacon.

Ingredients
2 to 2-1/2 pound brussels sprouts, even in size, cleaned with loose outer leaves removed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 to 1/2 pounds bacon lardons
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions
In a large pot with a steaming basket or a pasta strainer insert, boil just about one-inch of water with a dash of salt. Add the brussels sprouts and cover. Steam for five minutes. Remove from pot and allow to cool for handling.

Cut the bacon lardons into half-inch to one-inch pieces (pro tip: Put the bacon lardons into the freezer for a few minutes to firm up a bit for easier slicing). Alternating lardon pieces and brussels sprouts, thread the skewers. Mix the salt, pepper and olive oil, and brush the mixture onto skewers. Grill over medium heat for about three to five minutes a side, depending on how hot your coals are running.
