I wanted to do a quick post because this dish is too pretty not to share! We love us some Brussels sprouts up in here. Normally it’s just the sprouts with bacon. But I had some pretty purple cabbage left over from another recipe so I decided to throw some of that in as well.
Without further adieu. Because while yummy, it doesn’t really warrant a lot of conversation…here’s the recipe.
- Bag of Brussels Sprouts
- 1/4 – 1/2 head purple or red cabbage
- 6 slices bacon chopped (or turkey bacon if you’re into that)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 turns in the skillet of Avocado (or olive) Oil
- Salt/Pepper to taste
Really the rest is pretty simple: While cooking the bacon, wash and halve your Brussels sprouts. Chop up some cabbage.
When the bacon is crisp, take out to drain on a paper towel and remove (or leave it, no judging here) the bacon grease. Add your Avocado oil (unless you opt for the former) and then the sprouts and cabbage. I put my lid on for a few minutes so the veggies can slightly steam. Then continue to cook until your Brussels sprouts are tender. Add the salt, pepper and garlic and sauté 2-3 minutes.
Turn off the heat, add the bacon and toss together. Serve warm.
*I use my electric skillet because its just easier in an RV. Wanna hear a secret? In the whole time we’ve been in our RV, I haven’t cooked on my stovetop once. It may or may not scare me a little. Yes, I know that’s irrational.
