Ingredients:
8 slices
bacon
2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly
sliced
1 and 1/2 teaspoons caraway seed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 pound spinach - chopped, washed and dried
Directions:
* Place bacon in a large, deep
skillet.
* Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown.
* Crumble and set aside.
* In a medium sauce pan, steam Brussels sprouts
until tender.
* Heat the remaining fat in the skillet over
medium high heat.
* Add the Brussels sprouts and caraway seeds.
* Stir for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sprouts
are tender.
* Remove the skillet from heat, stir in the oil,
vinegar, and sugar.
* Stir, and add the spinach.
* Sauté the mixture over moderately high heat
for 1 minute or until the spinach is wilted.

NOTE: You could substitute sesame seeds
for the caraway seeds. Also, olive oil may
replace the vegetable oil. And balsamic vinegar
would work instead of white wine vinegar. Some
nice additions to this recipe include walnuts or
caramelized onions. |
