Ingredients:

Serving

1.5 lb brussels sprouts, cleaned and halved lengthwise
4 slices thick-cut bacon, roughly chopped .
1/2 cup sliced almonds
4 cloves garlic, minced
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper to taste
optional tsp. red pepper flakes

Directions:

Heat a large skillet to medium heat
Add dry almonds and toast for 3 minutes or until opaque and slightly golden
Place toasted almonds to the side and add bacon, cooking till crisp
Remove bacon and add Brussels sprouts to pan (don't drain oil as it will be easily and quickly absorbed by the very dry sprouts.)
(optional: this is a good time to add the red pepper.)
Add salt and pepper and cover with a heavy lid just smaller than your pan. The pressure will help carmelize the sprouts.
Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add garlic and lemon juice after about 10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and enjoy.
