Brussel Sprouts ended up being over cooked and mushy.
The brussels sprouts were extremely overcooked and the bacon wasn’t crisp at all.
Overcooked and mushy. I’ll roast in oven next time
Worst recipe ever…mushy beyond belief!
Overcooked and mushy.
I cooked brussels sprouts in instant pot for exactly 2 minutes and removed from pot. I also cooked the bacon separately and also removed from pot. Returned sprouts to pot and browned then added chopped bacon and seasonings. Turned out great.
Nice recipe. I substituted Turkey bacon and added some olive oil. Next time I will steam for 1 minute as 2 minutes made the sprpits a little too soft.
Why 2 cups of water? Maybe that is why everyone is saying mushy..
Yeah. Mushy. Wouldn’t brown at all. Sorry but very disappointed. I knew better than to pressure cook and make them soft
I followed the recipe and my sprouts did not end up mushy at all, tender but not mushy. Great flavor from the bacon and balsamic, a great blend of salty and sweet!
Nope not again
Delicious! Used 1/2 cup water and 16 oz brussel sprouts. A little too firm after the pressure cook. After the bacon saute with lid on, perfect!
Great recipe, thanks! I use this foldable steamer basket, space-saving design, plus it’s much easier to clean. Highly recommended, I got it on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2M5Cy3u
I followed the recipe exactly and ended up with mashed brussel sprouts. They were so mushy that they just mashed together when i sauted them. I don’t think less time steaming would help a whole lot.
So I took one reviewer‘s advice and only used one cup of water and the brussels sprouts did not come out mushy. I also used pancetta instead of the bacon and I added a little olive oil and onions chopped onions no more than a quarter of a cup and poured some wine white wine in to deglaze the bottom of the pan. But I realized you should make this recipe in the fall when brussels sprouts are in season it’ll probably taste better.
I’ll try this in the fall when brussels sprouts are in season
Nutritional content please
I tried this interesting recipe an hour or so ago. I followed it precisely even when part of it didn’t make sense to me… but what do I know. I have always been taught/instructed to brown the sprouts before steaming, but this recipe suggested the opposite.
I did as it suggested and as many others mentioned, I got mush!
The taste was flavorful though, and the vinegar was a nice touch at the end. I did not care for the mush, but the taste was good and my wife flipped over the end product. So I guess it worked out in the end.
My suggestion, for me if for no other, is to pressure-cook the sprouts for 2 minutes, take them out as quick as possible and put in an ice bath. Do not cook more to attempt to brown.
Then add the bacon (I also added some garlic and onions) and the vinegar and dig in!
It was tasty, despite the mush, and will try it again maybe even on a weekly basis.
