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)
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise.
Step 2
Dice the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Step 3
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Return the crispy bacon to the pan and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 10
(Optional) Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the dish for a hint of sweetness before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy!
