Method
- In a saucepan, cook the quinoa according to the package directions.
- (Takes about 20 minutes.)
- Remove from heat once done cooking.
- (If you haven't cooked the bacon, cook it in a skillet, drain the skillet and crumble the bacon.
- Then proceed -- ) (I usually "batch cook" bacon, so I already had some cooked.
- ).
- In a large skillet, add the olive oil, the halved Brussels sprouts and any stray leaves, the crumbled bacon, and the minced onion (finely chopped small white onion works too.).
- Squeeze the lemon juice into the skillet as they are sauteing.
- Saute over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, or until Brussels sprouts have turned bright green and browned slightly.
- Remove from heat to prevent overcooking and burning.
