Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb brussels sprout, fresh, washed, and sliced in half
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup white onion, minced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 tbsp sliced almonds, toasted
salt
pepper

Directions:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes. Immediately remove and place into an ice bath to stop the cooking and preserve the color and texture.
Bring a large pan up to medium high heat and add olive oil and butter. This gives both great flavor and the advantage of a higher smoke point. Once the butter has melted, add the onions. Cook 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the Brussels Sprouts, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-5 minutes, tossing frequently. Lower heat to medium. Add the Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic. Be very careful to not brown the garlic or it will turn bitter and ruin the flavor of the dish. Cook for about 2-3 minutes while tossing the mixture a few times.
Add almonds and bacon. Remove from heat. Toss the mixture again to ensure the vegetables are well coated with all ingredients.
Check for seasoning before serving. You may want to add a bit more salt and pepper depending on your taste buds.
