1 shallot, chopped
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed, small spouts left whole, larger spouts halved
Salt and pepper, to your taste
1 cup chicken broth
1. Brown bacon in a medium skillet over medium high heat.
2.Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
3. Add extra-virgin olive oil to the pan, 1 turn.
4. Add shallots to the pan and saute 1 to 2 minutes.

Mmm, this looks fantastic... I'm always looking for new ways to do Brussels Sprouts
Corinne -- It is yummy. Anne Cory at Kitchen Conservatory mentioned when I was in there the other day buying some duck fat that someone had mentioned to her that Brussel's sprouts cooked in the duck fat was _fantastic_. Next time I make this dish I'm going to modify it accordingly!
