Prep Time:
10 minutes

Cook Time:
10 minutes

Ready In:
20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts (cleaned)
  • 3 slices bacon (chopped)
  • 2 shallots (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup(s) walnuts (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup(s) organic chicken broth
  • salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions:

Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts. Thinly slice them with a knife.
Add the bacon to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon and place on a  paper towel-lined-plate and reserve.

Add the shallot to the hot pan and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts by the handful, stirring to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Saute the sprouts, tossing until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the walnuts and cook for 1 minute more to toast. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth, stirring until the liquid is reduced and the Brussels sprouts are soft. Stir in the cooked bacon. Serve hot.
