Brussels sprouts with bacon and almonds
Start by cooking your bacon. I like to bake my bacon because it’s an easy way to get most of the grease out out of the bacon.
Place the bacon on paper towels. This photo shows just how little grease is left after baking it in the oven.
Place the slivered almonds in a pan over medium heat and toast just until you start to smell them, only a couple of minutes.
Sautee the spring onions in olive oil for a few minutes.
Add the chicken broth and Brussels sprouts and cook for about 10 minutes.
Top with the crumbled bacon and toasted almonds. Serve immediately.
