Ingredients

  • 2 pounds brussels sprouts quartered
  • 10 ounces thick cut bacon cut into lardons
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Render the bacon over medium-low flame for about 25 minutes, until most the fat is melted away and the meat is browned. Stir in the sprouts and the salt and sauté for about another 25 minutes, stirring every minute or so until the sprouts are tender and caramelized. Add the maple and balsamic and continue to sauté a few minutes more, until the sauce is thickened.
