Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Irish Bacon

    Cut the Irish bacon into small strips or lardons. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Brussels Sprouts

    In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, return the crispy Irish bacon to the skillet. Add balsamic vinegar and toss everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Transfer the sautéed Brussels sprouts and bacon to a serving dish. Grate Parmesan cheese over the top before serving.
