Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. thick sliced bacon or pancetta, cut in 1/4-inch lardons
  • 2 lbs. Brussels sprouts trimmed and shredded
  • 1 teaspoon Course kosher salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large sauté pan or cast-iron skillet, render the bacon over medium heat until they are crispy and brown. Remove the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
  2. Toss the sprouts in the pan, season with a pinch of kosher salt, and cook in the bacon fat over medium heat until they soften and begin to brown in spots, about 4-6 minutes. Sprinkle in the garlic and thyme, and cook for another 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the nuts and the reserved bacon, pour in the maple syrup, and give a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve warm or at room temperature.
