Brussel Spouts With Bacon And Balsamic Vinegar Recipe

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

6 ounces bacon, coarsely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Partially cook the Brussels sprouts in a large pot of boiling salted water, about 3 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until beginning to crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts to the same skillet and saute until heated through and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the vinegar and simmer just enough to coat the Brussels sprouts, about 2 minutes. Serve.
