Brussel sprouts with bacon

 

 

Ingredients

• 3 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed, small spouts left whole, larger spouts halved
• Salt and pepper, to your taste
• 1 cup chicken broth

Directions

Brown bacon in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Add extra-virgin olive oil to the pan, 1 turn. Add garlic to the pan and saute 30 second or until it starts to brown. Add Brussels spouts and coat in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook Brussels sprouts 2 to 3 minutes to begin to soften, then add broth. Bring broth to a bubble, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook 10 minutes, until tender. Transfer sprouts to a serving dish with a slotted spoon and top with cooked bacon bits. Recipe adapted from Rachel Ray
