Recipe View Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the Brussels sprouts are tender to your liking, about 10-15 minutes. Check occasionally and add a tablespoon or two of water if the pan becomes too dry.

For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with smoked paprika and a drizzle of maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
If you don't have Chardonnay, a dry Sauvignon Blanc or even chicken broth can be used as a substitute.
To avoid mushy sprouts, don't overcook them. They should still have a slight bite.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or a pinch of nutmeg.
