Ingredients:

• 1 lb Brussels Sprouts

• 3 Tbs Cooking Oil (Olive/Canola Oil blend recommended)
• 1 Tb Rough (whole grain) Mustard*
• 1 Tb Balsamic Vinegar

Preparation:

1. Trim the bottom ends and any wilting outer leaves from the brussels sprouts. Rinse under cold running water and shake dry. If any of the brussels sprouts are larger the 1-inch in diameter, cut them in half.

3. Slice the bacon into thin ¼ inch wide strips or batons.
4. Heat the cooking oil in a wok or a deep-sided frying pan.
5. Add the bacon to the wok or pan and cook until crisp over a high heat.
6. Add the minced shallots to wok or pan and sauté, uncovered, over a medium-high heat until softened.
7. Add the brussels sprouts to the wok or pan; stir, cover and cook until the brussels sprouts have softened and can be pierced easily with a fork.
8. Stir the rough mustard and balsamic vinegar together in a small bowl.
9. Pour the mustard/vinegar sauce into the wok or pan, stir to mix, cover and cook over a medium heat for 2 minutes.
10. Serve Easy Yummy Brussels Sprouts immediately.

• Rough or whole grain mustard can be purchased in most supermarkets; look for brands without added sugars.
