Braised Brussel Sprouts

Should I try cooking brussel sprouts again?

 1 cup diced good-quality maple-smoked bacon

2 Tbsp finely chopped shallots

1 lb Brussels sprouts, cleaned and thinly sliced

1 Tbsp butter

Juice of ½ lemon (about 1 Tbsp)

2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Line a small plate with a paper towel. In a medium frying pan on medium heat, cook bacon until lightly crispy, about 5 minutes. (If the meat begins to smoke, reduce heat.) Remove bacon form the pan and drain on the lined plate. Carefully pour off some of the rendered fat, then add shallots and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in Brussels sprouts and cook for 2 more minutes, then add bacon and butter and toss lightly. Season with salt, black pepper and lemon juice. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
