Hot Girls Gilbert

The smoky flavor of bacon and tender Brussels sprouts come together in this recipe for Bacon-Braised Brussels Sprouts, making it the ideal Paleo side dish. Its an easy and tasty way to savor a satisfying and healthful vegetable dish.

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 4 slices of Paleo-friendly bacon, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions:

Add the chopped bacon to a large skillet that has been heated to medium heat

Cook until crispy, then take out and place aside, reserving the skillet with the bacon fat

Melt the coconut oil by adding it to the skillet containing the bacon fat

When the garlic is fragrant, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds

Season the Brussels sprouts with salt and black pepper after trimming and halving them

Add the Brussels sprouts and saut, stirring occasionally, for approximately 5 minutes or until they begin to brown slightly

After adding the chicken broth, simmer the mixture

Brussels sprouts should braise for ten to fifteen minutes, or until they are soft but still slightly crunchy

Lower the heat to low, cover, and let the sprouts cook

After cooking, take off the lid and allow any liquid to evaporate so that the flavors of the bacon and garlic can caramelize into the Brussels sprouts

After adding the crispy bacon pieces, give everything one more minute or two to combine

If desired, top the hot Brussels sprouts with finely chopped fresh parsley that has been braised in bacon

Savor your tasty side dish that fits the Paleo diet
