Steamed Brussels with Bacon and Shallots

Ingredients

  • 15-20 about 15-20 brussels sprouts, cut in half
  • 2 shallots, sliced
  • 3 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1/4 C chicken broth (or water)
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Saute chopped bacon in a skillet. When bacon starts to crisp, remove bacon pieces, reserving bacon fat. On medium heat, saute the shallots in the bacon fat until they start to caramelize. Add the sliced brussels with the shallots. Cook together for a couple minutes. Add the bacon pieces back to the skillet along with the chicken broth. Toss all ingredients together well and cover with a lid for about 5-7 minutes (until brussels are tender).
A tasty side for just about any dish! :-)
