Brussels Sprouts and Bacon
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound (6-8 rashers) smoked streaky bacon cut into small pieces
- 2 dozen Brussels sprouts trimmed & halved or shredded (you can also use a cheese grater)
- 1 tsp coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add garlic to oil in skillet or pan for 1-2 minutes, add bacon and then over medium-high heat until crispy.
- Take the bacon out of the pan (set aside until needed) and leave the grease in there.
- Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan, stir them until they're nicely coated in the bacon grease, and cover the pan with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the bacon back into the pan. Cook, uncovered, for a few more minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are as tender and/or browned as you want. You can cover the pan again if you wish (especially if you want the Brussels to be super soft); just keep an eye on them so they don't scorch.
- Season with salt & pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use small to average size Brussels sprouts. If you use giant ones, cooking time will definitely need to increase.
