Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Shaved Brussels sprouts sauteed with bacon, sliced almonds, and garlic is a side dish dream. A drizzle of red wine vinegar brings all of the flavors together in this easy recipe.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and thinly sliced
- 6 slices bacon chopped into 1-inch pieces
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Fry bacon in a large deep skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels. Drain the excess grease from the pan, leaving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan.
- Add the Brussels sprouts and quickly toss to coat with the hot bacon grease. Cook for about 1 minute, only until the garlic is fragrant and the Brussels sprouts are bright green.
- Drizzle the red wine vinegar over the sprouts and toss again to coat. Add the almonds and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for about 2 more minutes, until the sprouts are barely wilted.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the bacon, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
