Brussels Sprouts

I've never had brussels sprouts but my friend blogged and raved about this recipe:

Sauteed Brussels Sprouts
1 tablespoon corn oil

5 slices smoked bacon

1 lb. fresh Brussels sprouts

1 orange

3 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoons wholegrain mustard

1 can (4 oz) whole water chestnuts in water

salt and black pepper

Heat the corn oil in a frying pan, then dice the smoked bacon and fry it for 2-3 minutes until it turns golden brown. Rinse the Brussels sprouts, trim them if necessary, and cut in half. Wash any wax off the orange and grate the rind into the frying pan with the bacon and add the butter, mustard, and sprouts. Cook over a moderate heat for 5 minutes, stirring, until the sprouts are crisp. Meanwhile, drain and roughly chop the water chestnuts, stir them into the spouts, and cook them for 3-4 minutes until the sprouts are golden and the chestnuts are heated through. Add salt and black pepper to taste and serve.
