That looks good. I will definitely try that soonLooks delicious, MoG! I'm going to have to try you're stuffing recipe. My mom makes a killer stuffing, super simple; bread, bacon, celery, onions and poultry seasoning, but everytime I have it it brings me right back to my childhood!
My contribution for Thanksgiving is my signature brussel sprouts:

The funniest part about it is that the recipe actually came to me in a dream. Probably 8 or ten years ago, a couple of days before Thanksgiving, I was asked to make a veggie side for dinner, I took a nap, and literally dreamed about making this. So when I woke up I wrote down the recipe and made it that Thanksgiving, and it was such a hit that everyone wanted me to make it every year. Even the kids loved it.
Here's the recipe if any one wants to try it:
2 lbs fresh brussel sprouts, loose leaves removed, stems trimmed and washed
1 lb bacon cut into ~1/2 in pieces
1 large red onion cut in half and sliced into 1/4 in slices
1 shallot sliced as thin as you can
4 cloves of garlic minced
1 bunch of cilantro roughly chopped
1/2 cup red wine
Salt and pepper to taste
Par boil the brussel sprouts for about 6 minutes, then dump them in a colander and rinse them in cold water to stop the cooking and cut on half
Fry up the bacon on medium low heat until just before desired crispness, take out the bacon and set aside
Raise the heat to medium and Throw the onion and cook until just a little soft 3-4 minutes.
Add the brussel sprouts back in and saute for about 5 minutes, then add in the shallot and garlic, and cook covered for about 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
Once the sprouts have reached the tenderness you like, deglaze the pan with the red wine, throw in some pine nuts if you like, and then the cilantro and cook for another few minutes to evaporate most of the alchohol. Dish up and dig in.
It looks a little complicated in text, but it's actually a pretty simple recipe. The beauty of it is by par boiling the sprouts you don't get all that sulfur odor from them. It's a surprisingly nuanced dish for so few ingredients. Try it out and let me know what you think!
