Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Pine Nuts & Double Smoked Bacon

This is Shredded Brussels Sprouts dish is one of three festive dishes I partnered with Halendas to create:

1. Maple Glazed Rack of Pork
2. Quinoa with Kale, Cranberries & Hot Csabai Sausage

Ingredients

• 1 ½ lbs brussels sprouts
• 8 slices Halenda's Double Smoked Bacon, thick slices, diced
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¾ cup (175 mL) pine nuts
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Remove root end and core from brussels sprouts, then run the sprouts through a food processor with a slicing disk attachment (if you don't have one, you'll need to slice the brussels sprouts thinly with a knife, so plan a little extra prep time!)

Heat a large skillet on medium heat, then add bacon. Sauté until beginning to crisp. Drain bacon fat, add olive oil, then add sprouts and sauté for 3 minutes. Cover pan and cook 2 minutes longer or until sprouts are crisp-tender.

Toss in pine nuts, sauté 1 minute and season with salt and pepper.

These recipes were all created in partnership with Halenda’s however, opinions in this post are my own.
