Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan

Directions
Brown bacon in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Add extra-virgin olive oil to the pan, 1 turn. Add shallots to the pan and saute 1 to 2 minutes. Add Brussels spouts and coat in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook Brussels sprouts 2 to 3 minutes to begin to soften, then add broth.

Really tasty, but I would recommend a few tweaks: don't season the dish until the very end because, depending on the saltiness of the bacon &/or the stock, it could end up too salty; and I personally think 10mins cooking in the broth is too much - the sprouts began to lose their colour and run the risk of becoming bitter, so 6-8mins should suffice.

Ok, I saw 154 reviews on this recipe and I thought "Yeah, whatever -- glitch", but they are SO deserved.
I made this last night, and it was so good, I want to make it again tonight... and feed it to my 3yr old.
