Categories     easy, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 to 8 ounces bacon, chopped
1 pound Brussels sprouts, stems trimmed
1 cup dried figs, stemmed and quartered
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Put a large skillet over medium heat and add oil, then bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put sprouts through feed tube of a food processor equipped with a slicing attachment and shred. (You can also do this with a mandoline or a knife.)
  • Add sprouts, figs and 1/4 cup water to pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper, turn heat to medium, and cook, undisturbed, until sprouts and figs are nearly tender, about 5 to 10 minutes. Turn heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until any remaining water evaporates, another 5 to 10 minutes. Add vinegar, taste, adjust seasoning and serve.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less figs or omitting them altogether. The Brussels sprouts and bacon were cooked perfectly, but the sweetness of the figs overpowered the other flavors.
