Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • ½ pound bacon cut into small pieces
  • 2 dozen Brussels sprouts trimmed & halved
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy.
  • Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate, and leave the grease in the pan.
  • 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; just keep an eye on them so they don’t scorch.
  • Season with salt & pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

I use small-to-average size Brussels sprouts. If you use giant ones, cooking time will definitely need to increase. You can also find this recipe on page 243 of the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials hardcover cookbook.
