Vegan Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots
Author: 
Serves: 4 to 6 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 6 large shallots, sliced paper thin
  • 5 to 6 slices of your favorite vegan bacon, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1½ pounds Brussels sprouts, stems trimmed, halved (quartered if large)
  • ⅓ cup dry white wine
Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and bacon and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until the shallots are translucent. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and continue cooking until the shallots are browned and caramelized. Set aside.
  2. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan in a single layer, cut-side down. Leave undisturbed 2 to 3 minutes before stirring, to help them brown and caramelize. Continue to cook and stir occasionally until the Brussels sprouts turn bright green. Add the white wine to the Brussels sprouts, cover immediately, and steam for 2 minutes. Uncover and cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the Brussels sprouts are tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the shallot-bacon mixture and serve hot.
