Warm Bacon-Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
From: Nancy Fox @ www.skinnykitchen.com/
These are so dreamy good and loaded with fiber. Their fabulous flavors come from the sprouts being sautéed with bacon, dried cranberries and sliced almonds. Once sautéed, balsamic vinegar is added. Makes a wonderful side dish to chicken, turkey, fish, beef or pork. If you didn’t like Brussels sprouts before, you will now!
Prep Time: 12 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Makes 5 cups total.
Each serving 1 cup
Ingredients
1 pound Brussels sprouts (5 cups of whole Brussels sprouts)
6 slices bacon or turkey bacon, chopped (I like Oscar Meyer Center or ApplegateFarms),
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
½ cup dried cranberries (for paleo, use unsweetened)
¼ cup almonds, sliced thin, slivered or chopped
Small pinch of red pepper flakes
A little salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
1. Slice each Brussels sprout into very thin slices.
Set aside.
2. In a large nonstick pan, add chopped bacon.
Cook and stir often until crisp.
Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Add in Brussels sprouts, cranberries, almonds, a pinch of red pepper flakes and a little salt and pepper.
Mix well.
Sauté for about 2 minutes.
Mix in balsamic vinegar and sauté until the sprouts are soft.
Food Fact
Brussels sprouts belong to the cancer fighting cruciferous family. They were developed near their namesake city of Brussels, Belgium. They grow in rows of sprouts on a long, thick stock.
Healthy Benefit
Brussels sprouts contain good amounts of vitamin A, C, folic acid and fiber.
