Sauteed Brussels Sprouts

6 bacon strips

Вј cup duck fat (if you have it), or use coconut oil, bacon grease or lard

2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  1. In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove the bacon to a large plate, allow it to cool and cut it into small pieces. Set aside. Reserve the bacon drippings in the skillet.
  2. To the skillet in which the bacon was cooked, add the duck fat and increase the heat to medium-high. Carefully add the Brussels sprouts (take caution, as the fat may splatter) and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to crisp up, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer
    the Brussels sprouts to a large bowl.
  3. Toss the hot Brussels sprouts with the reserved bacon, sherry vinegar, rosemary, salt and pepper. Serve hot!

EQUIPMENT NOTE: For an even faster cooking time, shred the raw Brussels sprouts with the slicing blade of your food processor.
