Grilled Brussel Sprouts with Bacon & Balsamic

Grilled Brussel Sprouts with Bacon & Balsamic - from Daring Gourmet on Tablespoon.com:

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts (outer leaves discarded, bottom stems trimmed), cut in half

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1/3 cup good quality aged balsamic vinegar

4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled 

 

Directions

• Preheat it to medium-high.
• Lay the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a non-stick or lined baking sheet. Drizzle a couple tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the sprouts, sprinkle with some salt and freshly ground black pepper, and toss to evenly coat. Place the Brussels sprouts on a grill rack and grill for 8-10 minutes on each side.
• While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, place the balsamic vinegar in a very small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes or until it is thickened and lightly coats a spoon.
• Arrange the Brussels sprouts on a serving platter, drizzle with the balsamic vinegar reduction and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon. Serve immediately.
