1lb brussel sprouts washed, trimmed and halved
2oz bacon minced (you could also use pancetta)
2 cloves garlic minced
1TBS extra virgin olive oil
1/4 C balsamic vinegar
salt to taste
Toss together brussel sprouts, bacon, garlic, olive oil and salt in a single layer in a roasting pan and roast at 450 degrees in the upper third of the oven for 20 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and stir well scraping up any browned bits from the bottom and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until vinegar is reduced and the brussel sprouts are tender and starting to brown.
