CRISPY PAN FRIED BRUSSEL SPROUTS RECIPE WITH BACON AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Place the bacon slices onto a large, cold saute pan on the stove. Turn heat to medium. Fry bacon for a few minutes on each side, until crispy.
• Remove bacon and set aside to drain on paper towels. Leave the bacon grease in the pan.
• Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil to the pan and swirl around. Add brussels sprouts. Season with sea salt and black pepper, and stir to distribute.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Arrange brussels sprouts in a single layer in the pan, with as many surfaces touching the pan as possible. Sear for about 3-4 minutes, without moving, until well browned on the bottom. Flip or stir, and repeat on the other side. Repeat as necessary to brown all sprouts.
• Meanwhile, chop the bacon while waiting for the sprouts to brown.
• Add balsamic vinegar and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Return chopped bacon to the pan.
