Directions

  1. Combine Brussels sprouts, water, and ¼ tsp of salt in a skillet.
  2. Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered for 5-7 minutes. The Brussels should be tender. Drain.

  4. Add oil, shallot, and garlic to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the shallots are tender.
  5. Whisk in vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, mustard, pepper, and the remaining ¼ tsp salt. Cook, uncovered, for 6 to 8 minutes or until it has become slightly thick. Stir in the Brussels; heat through.
  6. Springle Brussels sprout mixture with bacon and drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp honey.
