Maple Bourbon Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375. Also heat olive oil in a 12" cast iron skillet. Place the sprouts, cut-side down, on the hot skillet and let cook without moving for about 7 minutes, until they are nice and browned on the bottom. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the sprouts, salt and pepper the dish, and place the skillet into the pre-heated oven without flipping the sprouts. Cook for about 10 minutes.
- Return the skillet to a burner. Add the bourbon, then ignite. Add the maple syrup while flames are still turning in order to caramel ice the sprouts.
- Remove from heat. Add the bacon and toss to combine. Add more salt & pepper, if needed. Serve with the pickled shallot.
- Thinly slice the shallot and place it in a small bowl. Salt it generously, add a pinch of sugar, then cover it with vinegar. Let the shallot pickle while you prepare the sprouts.
