Warm Bacon & Brussel Sprout Salad
I like to play the game "can I make something delicious?" using only what is left in the fridge. Sometimes it's a miss, but sometimes it's a hit, and I think this recipe was a game winner!
Ingredients
20 brussel sprouts, trimmed and sliced
6 baby bella mushrooms (or any other mushroom variety) sliced
1 (15 oz.) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 slices of thick bacon, fried and crumbled
2 tsp organic maple syrup (the real stuff)
salt
pepper
Directions
Pan fry the strips of bacon. Remove bacon, place on paper towels, and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Using the bacon drippings (or drain and use olive oil), sauté sliced mushrooms until they begin to caramelize. Add sliced brussels sprouts and continue to sauté until they begin to wilt, about 5 minutes. During the sauté process, add in black pepper to your liking.
Once brussel spouts and mushrooms are cooked, add in chickpeas and crumble or rough chop the bacon and add that to the mix. Toss ingredients together in pan until heated through.
Transfer to a serving bowl. Add maple syrup and a few pinches of salt to give it that salty sweet character and serve warm!
Enjoy :)
