-1/2 Pound Thickly Sliced Lean Bacon, Cut Into Thin Strips
-4 Tablespoons Sonoma Farm Garlic Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-1 Sweet Onion, Peeled & Diced
-Coarse Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Pepper
-4 Pounds Brussels Sprouts, Stem End Trimmed

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderately high heat until browned, about 8 minutes.
2. Add the onion, reduce the heat to moderate and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes, then remove to a plate.
3. In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the Brussels sprouts until barely tender, about 3 minutes.
Drain the sprouts, then slice in half.
