How brussel sprouts went from yuck to more, PLEASE

I never knew brussel sprouts could taste so yummy… they might be a new favorite food!

  • 2 cups organic brussel sprouts
  • 1/3 cup of dried cranberries
  • 3-4 slices of organic peppered bacon
  • 1/3 cup of chopped hazelnuts
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 1-2 heaping handfuls of spinach
  • 1/3 cup of diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • smidge of butter if needed
  • salt & pepper

Wash and halve brussel sprouts season with some salt and pepper & set aside. OK Pour vinegar into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Once you’ve got a boil, reduce the heat and allow the vinegar to simmer for about 20-30 minutes or until the vinegar has become thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Lets get that bacon going in a frying pan if you don’t have peppered bacon it’s totally ok, just sprinkle some pepper on both sides of your bacon!

Chop up those hazelnuts & cranberries & please set aside

Chop up your onion, into small bite size pieces

By now you bacon should pretty done, so remove from pan, here you can either save a little of the fat to use or use butter go ahead and add your brussel sprouts & onions. Let that cook for a minute or two , add hazelnuts & cranberries. By now the sprouts & onions should be getting browned :O) add your spinach, saute it all up and add chopped up bacon bits, add balsamic glaze, mix well.

Serve & ENJOY!!!!
