Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 150 grams Bacon
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts, then shred them using a food processor with a slicing blade or thinly slice by hand with a knife.
Dice the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion into half-moons. Mince the garlic cloves and set both aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Increase the heat back to medium-high and add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Toss to combine with the onions and garlic, then cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized.
Stir in the cooked bacon pieces, salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Adjust seasoning to taste, then transfer the dish to a serving platter and serve warm.
