Ingredients
2 tbsp bacon fat (from about two slices cooked)
1 lb brussels sprouts, halved
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
In a large sautee pan, heat 2 Tbsp bacon fat over medium high heat, then add 1 lb brussels sprouts, halved, with the cut side down, and let cook until the bottoms are seared and browned, about 2 - 3 minutes.
Add 1 clove garlic, minced and stir, trying to flip as many of the brussels sprouts as possible. Let cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, and let simmer, scraping the pan to deglaze any browned bits, until the brussels sprouts have softened slightly and the vinegar has reduced by half, about 2- 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste, then remove from heat, and serve warm.
