Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb bacon sliced
  • 1 cup onion
  • 2 lbs Brussels sprouts
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils or dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds toasted
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat up a large skillet over medium high heat. Sauté bacon until crispy, 6 minutes.
    Frying bacon in a pan.
  • While the bacon is cooking, prep asparagus and Brussels sprouts by first washing it. Then, snap off the ends of the asparagus and chop into small pieces. Remove the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts and slice into small pieces as if to shred them.
    Shaved brussels sprouts and other ingredients in small bowls.
  • Remove bacon, leaving up to 1/4 cup grease in the skillet. (If there’s any more than that, then drain it off.) Stir in onion and sauté about 5 minutes. Add in prepared asparagus, Brussels sprouts, salt and pepper. Sauté until bright green in color and wilted, another 5 minutes.
