Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 150 grams Bacon
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar (optional)
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise.
Dice the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced bacon to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
Add the sliced onion to the pan with the bacon fat and cook over medium heat until softened and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes without stirring, allowing them to develop a golden brown sear.
Once the Brussels sprouts are seared, stir them and cook for another 5 minutes, until tender. Add the minced garlic during the last minute of cooking and stir well.
Return the crispy bacon to the pan and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
(Optional) Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the dish for a hint of sweetness before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
