1
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the Brussel sprouts thoroughly, trim the ends, and cut them in half. Dice the bacon into small pieces. Slice the yellow onion into thin strips. Chop the cilantro roughly and set aside.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
3
Sauté the Onions and Brussel Sprouts
In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the sliced yellow onions and cook until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the halved Brussel sprouts to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4
Combine Ingredients
Cook the Brussel sprouts for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Toward the end of cooking, add the crispy bacon back into the skillet and mix well.
5
Finish and Serve
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with lime juice. Toss in the chopped cilantro, mix gently, and serve warm.
